HELP OUR CHILDREN. ACT NOW.
Inform Yourself

Most important of all, come along to our town hall meetings with updates, guest speakers and Q&A sessions.

Follow our Facebook page and your OGA and OBA Facebook pages to get connected. Follow (but do not "like") the PMSA page. Search other Facebook pages interested in the PMSA schools' governance crisis.
Read the growing collection of documents on this site, particularly our submission to the Church-appointed Mr Chesterman QC in December.
Google "Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association".

Talk to Others
Re-enforce to your kids that you are standing up for the right thing, and won't stand for bullying or intimidation.
Speak to other parents about the issues - many lack information. Many don't care because they don't understand yet what an impact the PMSA's bad governance is having, and will continue to have unless it is fundamentally reformed.
If you are part of a Uniting Church or Presbyterian congregation, share concerns about the damage being done to the Churches' reputation and missions by PMSA culture and governance.
Post and comment on social media. Like and follow our Facebook page. Follow but do not 'like" the PMSA page.
Make Representations
Let the Churches and external authorities know what you think about the PMSA's suitability as a governing body given its capricious sackings of senior staff, condoning of serious privacy breaches by its CEO, its Chairman plotting behind a Principal's back in nude bath houses, legal intimidation of parent and alumni bodies to stifle discussion, the suppression of a recent sexual misconduct case at BBC, undisclosed financial benefits to PMSA Councillors purporting to be "part time volunteers", or the general absence of due process, accountability, transparency, educational qualifications or management competence, and so on.
There is much more material to draw on in our submission to Mr Chesterman QC.
