Once again Christian school leaders will gather from ALL over the nation for the 2023 Christian Schools National Policy Forum. Plan now to join us in Canberra as we gather together in person, to network and connect with other school leaders for dialogue around key issues confronting Christian education. This will be a great opportunity to bring your team to see, at a glance, the bigger picture of Christian education in Australia.

Additionally, we will be hosting our Gala Dinner in the Great Hall at Parliament House and provides another opportunity to invite your local MP as your guest. We've made the process easier for you and provided a draft invitation for you to customise. You can download the invitation here.
