Anglican Schools Corporation (ASC) website, is an independent, co-educational, school system established by the Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney headquartered in Hurstville, New South Wales, Australia.
The number of schools in the ASC group has increased from five in 1995 to 20 in 2016. The initial objective was to establish one new school per year [1].
The school system now contains 20 schools and is non-selective, and currently caters for approximately 15,000 students from Kindergarten to Year 12, with plans to grow.
The object of the Corporation is to establish and efficiently operate, strategically placed Anglican schools offering quality education, which are financially accessible to local communities and communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to students, staff, parents and the wider community. The ASC Group Office provides financial and other administrative services to each school within the SASC group using income received by each school.
The Corporation has a board to manage the overall budget and policies for members, including the establishment, financial maintenance and disestablishment of schools. The board is also responsible for the appointment and dismissal of school principals. The right of veto for principals’ appointment is held by local school councils. The chair of each local school council is appointed by the board. As an incorporated body, the ASC can borrow funds for member schools, thus providing them with a working capital fund. There is a federated arrangement that all fees and grants that are raised by the school go to the ASC and these are used to offset interest on loans. Schools cannot undertake major capital works that cost in excess of $30,000 without board approval. Each school has responsibility for the preparation and delivery of its budget and this is generally the responsibility of its school council. The principal reports to the school council but does not have voting rights. The school council monitors the management of the budget and is accountable to the ASC board for the monthly budget report. The school council does not, however, have any involvement in the educational management of the school.See p121
