NCEC Facts on School Funding and FAQs

Although many parents may be confused as to how all schools are funded, it is particularly important at election time to understand how Catholic, State and Independent schools are funded by taxpayers through State and Federal governments. There seem to be differing stories in the media on a daily basis on how this happens, however this fact sheet which was developed by the National Catholic Education Commission in collaboration with Catholic School Parents Australia, provides information in a parent-friendly language to enable parents/carers to be informed about how their school is funded. If you would like further information please do not hesitate to contact our office.
