Membership

We encourage secondary Deputy Principals in NSW Government Schools to become members of the NSWSDPA.

Membership, upon payment of the appropriate annual subscription, is open to all secondary Deputy Principals of NSW public high schools, colleges, community schools (K-12), central schools, schools for specific purposes with secondary enrolments, schools of other types with secondary enrolments and secondary Deputy Principals deployed or seconded within the NSW Department of Education (see section 4 of the NSWSDPA Constitution).

Your membership is until the beginning of each State Conference, held each year in Week 7 of Term 3. The 2025 Conference will be held at Twin Towns resort in Tweed Heads from 3 - 5 September. Membership is included in the cost of all packages for the State Conference. This gives voting rights at the AGM, which is held during the State Conference.

Our Pro-rata membership rates for the 2024-25 membership year are as follows and are inclusive of GST:

Full Year (4 terms) $160

3 terms $120

2 terms $80

1 term $40.

Please note that the Full Year (4 term) rate begins in Term 4, not in Term 1 of any given year.

If the school pays the Deputy Principal's membership then a person relieving for an existing member as Deputy Principal for one school term or longer while the member is on leave or relieving/acting in another position may be able to assume that membership and access to the Association's MS Team for the period they are relieving.

If you have any questions regarding membership please contact our Executive Officer responsible for memberships, Michael McNamara, at michael.p.mcnamara@det.nsw.edu.au
