Research in Toowoomba Catholic Schools

We encourage research in Toowoomba Catholic Schools as it supports our strategic priorities, and improvements in our practices. 

External researchers

For those who are not employees of Toowoomba Catholic Schools to conduct research in our schools, an application must be made to the Executive Director: Catholic Schools in the first instance.  This application must be made using either

• the National Application Form – to conduct research in schools in more than one state or territory in Australia when conducting research in more than one jurisdiction in Australia
• the Toowoomba Catholic Schools Research in Catholic school application and guidelines - for researchers when only conducting research in the Toowoomba Diocese.

This application will be assessed by Toowoomba Catholic Schools Office to determine if in principle approval is to be given for researchers to contact the principal of the school/s in which the proposed research is to be conducted. Final approval for research is to be given by the relevant school principal.
