NCEC Newsletter 'Snippets'

The National Catholic Education Commission have produced several Newsletter SNIPPETS and encourage all Australian Catholic schools to include in their school newsletters in June, July and August (presuming a Federal Election is to be held in September). These SNIPPETS can be edited to to reflect local conditions.

The SNIPPETS mention both the Federal Election and the Funding Review. NCEC is determined that political parties be challenged to support Catholic school funding during the election campaign, rather than have funding commitments simply deferred to await the findings of the Review (end 2011).  A  number of further SNIPPETS will be issued in July (funding levels in 2013: Funding Guarantee not acceptable; the role of Catholic school systems) that are election-focused.

It would be helpful when reproducing these SNIPPETS if you could identify them with the NCEC Logo.
