Technology Consultative Group

The Technology Consultative Group (TCG) is a group representing Independent Schools across NSW in relation to matters of strategic importance in this sector. Members of the group seek to raise matters affecting the independent school community and work collaboratively within and beyond the group to find solutions to medium/long-term ICT issues which can be broken down into five strategic intent groups.

In 2024 TCG focus and membership includes:


Cyber Security

To provide support to Independent schools in this challenging space.

Members: Issam Ibrahim, Myles Carrick, Eu-Gene Harpur, James Stewart, Justin Dwyer, Chris Woldhuis and Elizabeth Westley


SIS Analysis

To develop a framework to support evaluation and decision-making in your school.

Members: James Stewart, Anton Kraus, Steven Swarts, Michael Gargoura, Chris Baroni, Mark Sullivan, Stuart Ryan and Shane Negen

Purpose

The Technology Consultative Group (TCG) consists of technology leaders who engage with matters of strategic importance to leading and managing technology in independent schools

Membership

TCG membership is voluntary and determined by a ‘call for volunteers’ process administered by AISNSW annually. The group consists of a Chair (AISNSW) and co-chair (Member School) along with 15 technology leaders from representative member schools. The group is representative of all school sizes, locations, affiliations and gender. Members are encouraged to participate for at least two school years. To ensure cross-coverage membership includes the current chair of the AISNSW ICT Management & Leadership Conference
