Call for investigation...

After exhausting all avenues, it is with great regret, that we call upon all relevant authorities (including The BOS NSW, State and Federal granting agencies, ATO and ICAC) to investigate SMC for alleged inappropriateness and misconduct in regards to the following issues:

1. Spending of Commonwealth and State grants, building funds and subsidies including fees and donations.
2. The alleged siphoning of Government Funds to the Diocese.
3. The absence of an appropriate constitution for the school despite 12 years since its establishment.
4. The appropriateness of the school size to the number of students, specially play areas, which is compromising the children safety.
5. The staff hiring policy and process (entire families are employed in the school)!
6. The fairness and transparency of the process of hiring new HOC 2009, including but not limited to:
   a. Inviting a certain candidate to apply after closing date.
   b. Accepting applications after closing date.
   c. The composition of the selection panel.
   d. The role of the AIS in the process.
   e. The role of the church hierarchy in the process.
7. Alleged collaboration between different levels of executives to allegedly cover up issues of safety nature.
8. Repeatedly providing false information in “Annual School Reports” in relation to “Policies for Emergencies and Critical Events”.
9. The declining of satisfaction level of parents, students and teachers, which has reached its lowest ever.
10. The alarming rise in unethical Private Tutoring by the teaching staff to their class students.
11. The systematic interference of the church hierarchy in the running of the school.
12. Blackmailing parents in order not to speak up.

Witnesses and documents will be produced when requested by the authorities through direct communication with the parents’ body.

Do we enjoy this action?! Not in the slightest.

Do we like to destroy the school?! Certainly not, after all our kids are there.

Have we thought about this long and hard?! You bet we have.

We have been forced to take this action as a last resort because we love our school and we are saddened to see it dieing a slow and painful death.
