On the 1^st of January 2021 all catholic primary schools and regional secondary colleges in the Archdiocese on Melbourne had a change of governance. As per a recommendation from the Royal Commission, the Parish Priest is no longer responsible for the governance of schools, this has been handed over to the newly established MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools).

As a result of this change of governance MACS has developed numerous policies over the first two terms of this year. As of the 12^th of July these are now found on our Parental Portal. These are mandated policies that all MACS Schools have had to adopt and implement. These are not new policies as most schools already had existing policies they are now universal for our system and allows our system to comply with VRQA (Victorian Regulations and Qualifications Authority) which registers all schools.

These MACS Policies can be found on the Parent Portal where you find the eNewsletters.

Schools will still have school specific policies ie: Homework Policy, Uniform Policy etc and these can also be found on the same page.
