message from the Chair
As I reflect on 2024 and my tenure as Chair, I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution ACT independent schools have had on the lives of so many children and young people.
As we know, the Association is, in part, about representing and articulating the views of the ACT independent school sector on educational issues to other agencies, Government, and others, and to provide a forum for critical debate and reflection on such issues – something which is gaining increasing significance in the current local and national education climate, an opportunity we both welcome and recognise as having increasing significance. However, our association is actually about supporting ACT independent schools to serve their communities and in particular, each and every student enrolled, and the staff working, in our schools.
Our schools have not been formed from a desire to compete with any other sector; they have grown out of a need in the community for choice, for diversity and for excellence, and we work to continue to meet these community needs.
In essence, independent schools are providing the opportunity for parents to engage in an active choice for their child’s education – and they are obviously happy to make that choice. We see this because student numbers in the ACT independent sector continue to increase. And as the demand for student placement in our schools continues, we are excited at the prospect of two new independent schools planning to open their doors in 2026.
There are many opportunities to enhance education in the ACT, and the Association remains committed to making meaningful contributions to government education policies ensuring they are focussed on high quality education throughout the Territory, irrespective of schooling sector. The Association has a proven track record of working with Member Schools in the advancement of education outcomes, both in each Member School, and across the jurisdiction and in 2024 this has continued to be foremost in the activities of the office, the general membership and the Executive.
I specifically wish to thank the Members of AISACT for their collegiality and good governance, and particularly to the AISACT Executive; to Deputy Chair Rachel Davies, and to Justin Garrick, Maureen Hartung, Ian Hewitt, Leonie Harwood, Heather Walsh, Christine White, and David Percival. I also acknowledge and thank our ED, Andrew and the team in the office of the AISACT. It has been a privilege and pleasure to work with them.
Additionally, I acknowledge and celebrate the work, interaction and influence of two Principals who left their roles at the end of 2024. Andy Gordon concluded his time as Interim Principal of Radford College after holding that role for the past 12 months. In that time Andy has actively engaged in the activity of AISACT and led his school with excellence. Andy has been appointed the inaugural Principal of Stromlo Forest Anglican School. Joe Zavone was appointed Principal of St Edmund’s College seven years ago and led the school through some transformative, and sometimes difficult (who could forget COVID!), years. We wish Joe the very best as he moves into the excitement of retirement.
I also note with sombre reflection the sudden passing of a Past Principal and Chair of AISACT, Steven Bowers; friend, colleague, mentor and staunch advocate for independent schools and for AISACT. A well-respected and long-serving principal, Chair of AISACT and champion of the sector, as an Association, we can reflect on the enormous contribution Steven made over the past decade and a half. He served on the Executive Committee for most of that time and was Chair for five years. Steven also served as Chair of our national body, then called the Independent Schools Council of Australia.
In closing, I commend this Annual Report to you. We are fortunate that 2024 has been a year of growth, challenge, complexity and achievement, both in our individual schools, and for the Association in general. All member schools have benefitted from the advocacy, collegiality and conversations on current and emerging issues in Education that the Association has facilitated. We look ahead to 2025 with optimism and energy.

A message from the Executive Director
As we reflect on the accomplishments and challenges of the past year, it is with great pride that I present the 2024 annual report. Throughout the year, AISACT continued its commitment to supporting member schools, promoting excellence in education, and advocating for the interests of independent education in the ACT.
Throughout the year, AISACT facilitated numerous collaborative initiatives and networking opportunities for member schools. These included a range of workshops, and forums where educators, administrators, and other stakeholders could exchange ideas, share best practices, and foster partnerships to drive innovation and excellence in education. These are all celebrated throughout the report.
AISACT remained committed to supporting initiatives aimed at enhancing teaching and learning outcomes. We collaborated with academic institutions, industry partners, and other organizations to develop and implement innovative and bespoke programs to meet the evolving needs of our schools and students.
While AISACT achieved significant milestones in 2024, we also encountered various challenges, including evolving regulatory requirements, and funding constraints. However, these challenges also presented opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and growth, and AISACT remains committed to supporting member schools as they navigate these dynamic environments.
AISACT is supported in its work by so many people and organisations and 2024 was no different. Many of these organisations have had a long association with AISACT. All of these organisations, and the people who work for them, are very important to the work of the Association, and we recognise and thank you all.

It continues to be my privilege to serve as the Executive Director for AISACT. It is also my very great privilege to work beside and with such an exceptional team who are the staff of AISACT and who, through their expertise and enthusiasm, support our member schools. It may be a small number, but they pack one hell of a punch!
As we look ahead to the future, AISACT remains focused on its mission of promoting excellence, innovation, and diversity in independent education and so we look forward to continuing the educational journey with you throughout 2025.

The Association
Key Functions
The Association of Independent Schools of the ACT (AISACT) is the peak body representing the ACT Independent School sector. Our mission is the advancement of educational excellence through the promotion of a strong independent school sector in the ACT.
The AISACT is guided by the following key principles when representing the views of the diverse group of Member Schools:
- Parents are entitled to exercise choice in selecting the most suitable school and education philosophy for the education of their child(ren).
- The Association advocates for and represents the issues of the independent school sector.
- All students, irrespective of where they are educated, are entitled to a high-quality education.
- Governments have a responsibility to provide a suitable level of funding for all students to achieve high quality education
In addition, the Association provides a number of services and professional learning opportunities throughout the year to Member schools. This professional learning covers a diverse range of topics including leadership, curriculum, governance, coaching, wellbeing and student engagement.
AISACT represents and advocates for the interests of all independent schools in the ACT, consulting with governments, statutory authorities, and a wide range of other educational stakeholders.
Membership
The Association has 18 Member schools, which are a diverse group of non-government schools serving a range of communities. The schools are of different types, sizes, religious affiliations and educational philosophies and are a vital part of the ACT education system.
All independent schools in the ACT are Members of the AISACT with each independent school being a separate and autonomous not for profit entity with an independent governing body.
While all schools are required to comply with relevant legislation regarding alignment with the Australian Curriculum, individual schools will make choices about the breadth of the curriculum offered and the subject choices provided within their context.
In 2024 Member schools educated over 16,769 students with enrolments ranging from 101 to over 2209 students. In 2024 students in Member schools made up 21% of the total student population in the ACT. Enrolment in Canberra’s Independent schools has historically been very strong and have seen a 21% increase in student enrolment over the past 10 years.
The Association also provided its two Associate Member schools from surrounding NSW with support and opportunities in 2024. These schools have been able to access professional learning in addition to other services that the Association offered. They will continue to be a vital part of the Association and its strategic direction.
Governance and Executive Committee & subcommittees
General Meetings
The Association’s General Meeting comprises nominated representatives from each of the 18 Member schools. Each school can nominate two representatives, one of whom must be the Principal, and the other must be the Business Manager, or a representative of the school’s governing body.
In addition to the Member school representatives, the AISACT invites its Associate Members to participate in Association activities and meetings.
The Association extends the invitation to be an observer to the Association of Parents and Friends of ACT Schools (APFACTS). APFACTS is a partner of the Association and plays a pivotal role in supporting the parents of students at Independent Schools.
Executive Committee
The General Meeting membership elects the members to the Executive Committee. Members of the Executive Committee considers the wide range of strategic impacts to the Association, the Association’s best response to those impacts on behalf of Member schools, and the strategic oversight of the services and new initiatives to support to Member and Association Member schools.
AISACT Executive Committee membership details are provided in the Appendix.
Executive Subcommittees
The Executive Committee supports the role of four strategic subcommittees: the Finance and Risk Subcommittee, the Teaching and Learning Subcommittee, the Educational Support and Wellbeing Subcommittee, and the Early Years Learning Subcommittee (as required). All subcommittees continued their work to provide advice on strategies, opportunities, and approaches to the Executive Committee to achieve the Association’s key directions. AISACT Executive Subcommittee membership details are provided in the Appendix.
Strategic Intent
Advocacy and Representation
As the representative body for the Independent School sector, the Association represents the sector’s view to Territory and Federal governments on matters of significance and importance in education and in independent schools. The Association continued to work closely with the ACT Minister for Education and Early Childhood, Ms Yvette Berry MLA, ministerial advisors, and senior officials from the ACT Education Directorate. The Association also worked closely with The Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, Catholic Education to continue to advance the specific issues relating to Non-Government Schools in the ACT.
The Association, through Principals, Board Members, office staff, and teachers from Member schools, represents the interests of Independent Schools, independent Education, and the Association on a wide variety of committees, consultative groups and boards.

Our Partners
During 2024 the work of AISACT has been supported by our primary sponsor Edstart and Nexia Canberra, our event partner once again this year.
Programs and Initiatives
The Association’s Strategic Intent has guided the decisions and work of the Association and articulates the key directions needed to achieve the Association’s goals. The Strategic Intent is supported by several operational plans.
This report outlines the key activities of the Association to meet Member School needs and to positively advance the actions designed to achieve the objectives of the final year of the School Education Reform Agenda and the Bi-lateral Reform Agreement with the ACT Government.
Since 2018, AISACT built and further developed the capacity of independent schools in the ACT to meet the Australian Government’s school education reform priorities for non-government schools and has continued to build on this work in 2024. To this end, AISACT provided a strong and supportive range of programs beginning in January 2024, building on the delivery modes from 2023 and delivered over different periods.
Leadership development, staff and student wellbeing, mental health as well as coaching for school improvement continued as a focus during 2024. AISACT continued to build on previous work on the quality assurance, moderation, and support for the continued improvement of Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability. AISACT continued to focus on leadership development and support with the provision of expert advice from an experienced staff member providing both hotline support and advice and on-site support at individual schools. For the implementation of online delivery of the National Assessment program, AISACT continues to work to ensure that all 18 Member Schools had access to advice and assistance regarding their readiness for the implementation of the online delivery of the National Assessment program.
The priority addressing the improvement of governance and financial management practices in non-government schools saw the Business Managers Network strengthen the sharing of expertise with a range of important topics such as school master planning and the development of a school’s compliance calendar. Extensive sharing with member schools regarding the new requirements and implications for nongovernment schools through the amended ACT Education Act continued as a priority and providing advice to support effective governance in our schools.
AISACT continued to provide specialist professional learning programs as identified in the Bilateral Agreement addressing Australian Curriculum, including general capabilities, reporting against the achievement standards, School Leadership, and literacy and numeracy. The broad range of programs were made possible by the Non-Government Reform Support Fund.
The Association has continued to collaborate and contribute with all education sectors in the ACT to provide input through reform specific governance mechanisms and communication.
The office of the AISACT entered agreements with a range of providers who provide expert advice and support on an as needs basis to member schools, including:
- Legal Advice - Snedden Hall & Gallop
- Employee Assist and Counselling Advice – Catholic Care and Exhale People
- Complaints and Investigations - Halloran and Morrissey
Education Support
Networks
In 2024 there were three networks for support of school staff. The Students with Disabilities Network met each semester and provided professional learning, networking and resource support in teaching and learning, program support, teaching strategies and collaboration.
The NCCD Network met each term and provided professional learning following the NCCD phases (planning, implementation, validation and reflection). An opportunity for cross school moderation was held in term 3 and school-based support was proved upon request within moderation, evidence management, appropriate documentation, the Disability Discrimination Act, and the Disability Standards for Education.
The Student Well-Being Network was a mailing group, with resources shared, and contact maintained should schools require input or support.
Cross Sectoral Collaboration
2024 saw the continuation of cross sectoral collaboration, particularly in information dissemination and moderation for NCCD processes. Other Cross Sectoral work was in the areas of student well-being resources, networking, Restrictive Practices and professional learning opportunities.
Professional Learning
School and team based professional learning was collaboratively developed on request and included Neurodiversity Support, Behaviour Support, Trauma Informed Education Support, Student and Staff wellbeing, NCCD processes, inclusive practices, The Standards for Education, and the Disability Discrimination Act.
2024 Youth Mental Health First Aid Course
This Mental Health Australia accredited course, facilitated by Isabel Fox equipped adults who teach, care for, or support young people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to a young person experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis within a school setting. The Youth Mental Health First Aid Course further provided schools with the opportunity to review school policies and processes within mental health and student support.
2024 Program Amplify
Delivered and created by Sue Chandler this program again provided early career teachers with evidence-based approaches from the science of wellbeing to enhance their pedagogy and classroom management approaches. Professional practice, professional identity, and wellbeing of early career teachers was supported through the promoting of shared learning and discovery. Opportunities for building connections across school networks were provided, along with the scope for newly learned skills and knowledge to be applied in their classes.
Other Support
The Manager of Education Support visited schools and provided advice and resource support in areas relating to NCCD processes as well as specific support on the Disability Discrimination Act, adjustments and plans (learning, health care, behaviour, safety) for individual students, building teams and other areas as requested. Advice was also provided around inclusive practices at a strategic level, restrictive practices, curriculum access and positive behaviour support.
Teaching and Learning
The AISACT Teaching and Learning Subcommittee remained engaged throughout 2024, informing and supporting the work of the Association by generously sharing resources and professional insights to maximise educational excellence. The challenge regarding how to maximise and sustain emergent high yield innovative practices remains active.
2023-2024 Promoting Self-Regulated Learning Program
Facilitated by Dr Shyam Barr, this hybrid two-year program continued to enhance teacher knowledge and practice about self-regulated learning, thus supporting students to develop the skills required thrive in a rapidly changing social and work landscape.
The ongoing program objectives are to:
- Support educators to actively engage with research literature, enhance their knowledge of concepts in the field of self-regulated learning, develop a repertoire of research-informed strategies and consider application within their own teaching practice and unique school contexts.
- Create opportunities for educators to critically discuss concepts, cognitive psychology theories and strategies as a method of constructing knowledge and developing a shared language amongst practitioners.
- Facilitate educators in conducting independent action research withing their own classes and effectively investigate the effectiveness of their chosen pedagogical approaches.
Staggered across 2024, the online modules, group coaching sessions and school visits unpacked four core learning themes and associated learning tasks:
- Applications of motivational science
- Understanding and enhancing cognitive processes of learning.
- Metacognition, the reflective practitioner and self-regulated learning
- Sustainability of teaching approaches and self-regulated learning.
2023-2024 participating schools:
Blue Gum Community School, Brindabella Christian College, Canberra Grammar School, Galilee School, St Edmund’s College, Daramalan College, Covenant Christian School.
2024 Evidence into Action Mentoring Program: Implementation for School Improvement
Throughout 2024 this ongoing project built on school engagement in previous Evidence into Action workshops. Tailored professional learning was delivered on 5 March to support the ongoing delivery of an implementation plan based on individual school priorities. Key elements of implementation science informed the development of plans to guide the implementation of school improvement projects or approaches.
Schools received personalised support through virtual mentoring sessions following the initial workshop. Participants in the 2024 AISACT Australian Government’s Choice and Affordability Fund (CAF) Grant Programs also engaged with these professional learning opportunities throughout the year and showcased work to date at the 2024 AISACT Celebrating Teaching and Learning event, 13 November.
2024 participating schools:
Brindabella Christian College, Taqwa School, Daramalan College, Canberra Montessori School, Canberra Girls Grammar School, Covenant Christian School, Trinity Christian School, Emmaus Christian School, Burgmann Anglican School
Events
AISACT Leadership Breakfast Series
The AISACT Leadership Breakfast Series was established by the Association to engage school leaders across the ACT, irrespective of schooling sector, in issues of significance and importance in the education sphere; specifically, lessons in leadership as delivered by guest speakers, and how these lessons may be transferred to schools to enhance the learning achievements of all students.
The challenges for leadership in educational settings are numerous, and school leaders increasingly look beyond their own environments to learn more and improve their leadership capacity. The speakers are not necessarily part of the regular education speaking circuit, rather, their expertise in leadership, and their leadership journey, provide transferable lessons in leadership for educators across Canberra.
Lisa Paul AO PSM
Lisa Paul AO PSM was the keynote speaker at the 2024 Leadership Breakfast held on 21 March. She assumed the role of Chancellor at the University of Canberra in January 2024, bringing with her extensive experience in policymaking and advocacy. As the former Secretary of the Federal Department of Education, Lisa shaped national policies on higher education, science, research, and innovation across multiple government administrations. She has since maintained her commitment to education through various honorary positions and advisory roles at prestigious institutions such as the ANU and the University of Melbourne.
Twilight Colloquium
The 2024 Twilight Colloquium was again designed as a ‘fireside chat’, designed to informally explore and engage through conversations led by a number of our principals.

Invitations were extended to all sectors and education authorities to attend. It was held on the evening of 26 August and was well attended and will certainly be held again in 2025 due to its success.
The focus of the conversation was:
“The educational landscape has always been ever changing and challenging. What are the opportunities this currently affords us as leaders?”
The chat was moderated by Mr Andrew Wrigley ED AISACT and the panelists were:

AWARD FOR LEADERSHIP AND EXCELLENCE IN ACT INDEPENDENT EDUCATION
Each year the Award for Leadership and Excellence in ACT Independent Education is awarded. The award recognises an individual who, in the opinion of the members, best met the Association’s mission of “Excellence in ACT Independent education”.
The citation received for this year's successful leader stated:
“The recipient has led their School with distinction and compassion. Their current school is the second independent school they have led, and in both instances the schools have flourished under their leadership. The recipient is recognised for their strong support of AISACT and the Independent school sector more broadly, advocating for the sector and shaping the narrative of the Independent school education here in the ACT, as well as nationally.
The recipient is a leader who models compassion, humility, integrity, and service - and their support of colleagues, particularly in times of challenge or crisis, is well recognised".
The members voted and the award in 2024 went to Mr Ian Hewitt, Principal Trinity Christian School.
