Our Commitment to Equity
ensuring every school—regardless of size, geography, or resourcing—can participate fully in the Catholic education ecosystem.
Every Catholic school and early childhood centre, deserves access to high-quality technology, support and the chance to participate fully in a connected education community. CNA works to remove barriers and bridge digital divides so innovation reaches every learner and educator across Australia.
Equity flourishes when communities are connected. By uniting dioceses, schools and education offices through a shared national network, CNA enables access to common infrastructure, consistent standards and collective purchasing power. This collaboration ensures that even the smallest or most remote schools can benefit from solutions that would otherwise be out of reach.
