Research Guidelines

The CEO welcomes applications for research in schools that is consistent with the mission, vision and strategic goals and directions of our education system.

Researchers wishing to conduct research in Parramatta diocesan schools are invited to complete the attached application form. A list of diocesan schools can be found using the SELECT SCHOOLS menu at the top of the page. Schools are listed by name, suburb or you can locate them on the map.

Once an application for research is received by the CEO, approval will be granted according to the appropriateness and relevance of the research project. Once a project is approved, the researcher may approach diocesan schools to request permission to conduct the research project. Ultimate approval to conduct the research rests with the principal of the school.

For applications to conduct research in Catholic systemic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta please complete the following application form.
