Keep School Funding Fair
Last Term we shared information with Principals about the Keep School Funding Fair campaign, launched by Catholic Schools NSW.
Research shows less than half of Australians know how our school system is funded.
The Keep School Funding Fair campaign aims to explain the Australian school funding system to all Australians.
Both state and commonwealth governments contribute funds to support school choice and to ensure that every Australian child gets a high-quality education.
In Australia, school choice ensures that parents can choose a school that best suits the needs of their child and their values as a family.
We believe the current means-tested school funding system is the fairest way to provide opportunities for all children and choice for all families. That’s why the campaign is seeking the support of the Australian community to keep school funding fair.
If you feel appropriate, you can consider sharing an update about this campaign or some of these resources below in your next school newsletter. A poster for your school reception is attached.
