破湾教区宣布将在14所悉尼北岸和北海滩的天主教小学实行校长共享制，一名校长将同时领导两所学校1。受影响学校范围涵盖从曼利至阿瓦隆及贝罗瓦的地区1。这项举措旨在应对该教区每年9000万澳元的资金削减，相当于每名学生约5000澳元的经费缺口1。
教区负责人卡西向家长直言了这一困境，表示："问题是：你是否愿意多付5000澳元，还是接受在其他地方已证明成功的安排？"1然而，该方案面临家长和教师的强烈反对。纳拉维恩圣约翰使徒校的家长会主席刘易斯指出，家长事先未被警告会失去全职校长，并表示"家长值得透明度"1。独立教育工会新州及澳大利亚首都地区分部秘书卡罗尔·马修斯表示工会未被咨询，且不清楚是否会增加受影响学校的员工1。
此前，破湾教区去年已宣布关闭巴尔戈阿拉赫的圣塞西莉亚小学并与曼利谷的圣基兰小学合并1，校长共享制成为教区在财务困难下的又一项整合措施。
The Broken Bay Diocese has announced that 14 Catholic primary schools across Sydney's North Shore and Northern Beaches will implement a shared principal model, with a single principal leading two schools simultaneously 1. The move is designed to address severe government funding cuts while avoiding tuition increases.
The diocese faces annual budget cuts of $90 million, equivalent to approximately $5,000 per student 1. Diocese leadership presented the initiative as a necessary trade-off, stating: "The question is: are you willing to pay an extra $5,000, or do you accept an arrangement that has proven successful elsewhere?" 1 The affected schools span from Manly to Avalon and Belrose 1.
The proposal has met with resistance from parents and educators. The parents' association president at St. John the Apostle Primary School, Narawean, expressed frustration, saying parents were not warned about losing full-time principals and deserve greater transparency 1. The Independent Education Union's New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory branch secretary raised concerns that the union was not consulted about the restructure and lacks clarity on whether staffing levels at affected schools will increase 1. The diocese previously closed St. Cecilia Primary School in Balgowlah and merged it with St. Kieran Primary School in Manly Vale 1.
