The Catholic Schools Office Lismore welcomes research projects in our schools where it can be demonstrated that the research project will assist to maintain and improve the provision of quality Catholic education. Any approvals are granted in principle only and are subject to the provision of satisfactory evidence of the nature and standard of research as well as an ethics committee approval from the applicant university in regard to conducting research with children and young people. The approval of the participating school principal is then required for the research to go ahead.
