Last week I joined the five Diocesan Catholic Education Executive Directors for the quarterly Directors Forum gathering.

We welcomed to part of the meeting Cathy Uechtritz, Director, Government Relations for the Archdiocese of Brisbane.

Cathy outlined the nature and focus of her role and her recent advocacy work with State and Federal politicians.

Directors also discussed a range of topics including the Plenary Council and changes to Catholic Professional Standards Ltd.

The Directors also had the opportunity to meet together with the Queensland Bishops the following day to discuss current and emerging educational issues.
