Bishop Shane Mackinlay has announced the membership of the inaugural boards for Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd (CES) and Sandhurst Catholic Early Childhood Education and Care Ltd (SCECE&C). The directors of these companies will lead Catholic Education and Early Childhood Education & Care in the Diocese into a new era of governance from 1 January 2021.
"Expressions of interest were received from a wide range of suitably qualified and experienced women and men and I am very encouraged by the calibre of people who have accepted positions on these inaugural Boards," said Bishop Mackinlay.
The CES Ltd Board will be responsible for governance of Catholic Education in the Sandhurst Diocese while the SCECE&C Ltd Board will oversee the provision and development of Early Childhood Education and Care. The two existing kindergartens in the Diocese, St Mel’s Kindergarten, Shepparton, and Assisi Kindergarten, Strathfieldsaye, will transition to the new entity in January 2021.
"I am confident that the CES Ltd and SCECE&C Ltd Board Members will embrace the spirit and responsibilities of undertaking a ‘Shared Ministry’ with our parishes in Catholic Education and Early Childhood Education & Care," said Bishop Shane.
"I recognise the faith, integrity and expertise of the directors, and I appreciate their deep commitment to Catholic Education in the Sandhurst Diocese," he said.
The CES Limited and SCECE&C Limited Directors will be appointed for a maximum of two consecutive terms of three years. A combined meeting for Board formation will take place on 28 January 2021.
