Dare to Lead's work is underpinned by a host of partnerships. All of the project's partners are important, but we want to pay special tribute to the following 'system partners' who contributed financially and in other ways to our ongoing work in 2010:
- Edmund Rice Education Australia
- Education Queensland
- New South Wales Catholic Education Commission
- New South Wales Department of Education and Training
- Northern Territory Department of Education and Training
- Queensland Catholic Education Commission
- Tasmanian Department of Education and Training
- Victorian Catholic Education Commission
- Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
- Western Australian Catholic Education Office
- Western Australian Department of Education and Training
There have also been some individual regions within the state jurisdictions listed above which have contributed. Some of the funding is to support the general work of Dare to Lead and the way it complements the work of those individual systems; in other cases, funding is for specific projects which are consistent with the work of Dare to Lead. All of the partners listed above are likely to support Dare to Lead again in 2011. There are also some new partners anticipated but not yet confirmed. We give grateful acknowledgment to all of them.
