Dr Edward Simons, Executive Director, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, said: "Good education runs on more than just passion; it runs on systems that work effectively.

We chose them for their proven track record in tackling these complex challenges, and we're confident that together, we can build a foundation that lets our teachers spend less time navigating systems and more time with their students."
