CRMV Ltd
CRMV Ltd represents the interests of Catholic schools in Victoria which historically were owned and governed by Congregations or Religious Institutes. It acts as a consultative forum for the debate of issues related to Catholic education, particularly as these pertain to Religious Institute and Ministerial Public Juridic Person (RI/MPJP) schools.
CRMV’s Company Members are the RIs and MPJPs that govern Catholic schools in Victoria. It also facilitates networks of School Proprietor (Board) Chairs, governance and system leaders, Member School Principals and Formators from RI/MPJP education.
CRMV nominates a fifth Member for the Victorian Catholic Education Authority (VCEA) to serve alongside the Member Bishops and the CRMV Executive Officer serves on the VCEA Consultation Committee. CRMV nominates colleagues from its Member organisations to VCEA working groups and liaises on behalf of its Member schools with VCEA and the four Diocesan Education Companies.
Nationally, CRMV nominates a representative to serve on the Committee of RI and MPJP School Authorities Australia (CORMSAA), which provides a direct connection for its Members and Member Schools with the Association of Ministerial Public Juridic Persons (AMPJP), Catholic Religious Australia (CRA) and the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC).
The CRMV Ltd Board of Directors acknowledges the privilege of partnering with and representing its Members, RI/MPJP School Proprietors and Member Schools within the Victorian context, whilst recognising that the canonical and civil authority for all its Member Schools remains with the respective Members and School Proprietors.
CRMV Ltd has grown out of the Catholic Religious Victoria Education (CRVEd) Committee which evolved from the CLRCV Schools Committee established in 2006.
