Today ACS, in partnership with Edstart, hosted an incredible Leadership Roundtable & Breakfast event.

Over breakfast and fellowship, Jack Stevens, CEO of Edstart, shared key findings from the Edstart School Insights Report 2025. Drawing on data from 2,000+ families and 200 schools, the report revealed important trends and highlighted differences in perspectives between schools and parents. These insights into parents’ attitudes towards school fees and education helping enable better decision-making for schools.

Our group discussions explored approaches to communication around school fees and managing fees within the unique environment of Christian schools. We concluded by collaborating on shaping future research priorities that will serve Christian schools across Australia.

Events like this remind us of the power of shared wisdom and community. Thank you to all who joined us bright and early to exchange ideas that will shape the future of Christian education.

A special thanks to Edstart, our Official Fee Management Partner, for facilitating this important discussion.
