The Commission held its June meeting yesterday and considered a number of current and ongoing issues affecting our sector.

I updated Commission members on the significant legal action being taken by the Copyright Agency against all school sectors, including all state and territory Commissions.  The litigation is about the way in which information is collected to determine the use of hard copy and electronic material in schools.

The Commission also endorsed updated Position Statements – Access to Catholic Schools during Election Campaigns and Educating for Sustainable Futures in Queensland Catholic Schools. These statements will be available on the QCEC website here.

The Commission also received the mid-year report on the operation of the QCEC Secretariat, reflecting the broad range of work carried out.
