Catholic Education WA- Fair Funding Campaign
Catholic School Parents WA encourages you to becoming familiar with Catholic Education WA's (CEWA) Fair Funding Campaign so we as parents can be a united voice when speaking to the Politician's in our community. CEWA is "calling on all political parties to put children first and acknowledge the contribution Catholic schools make to communities across Western Australia by ensuring a fairer funding deal for our students."
CEWA are advocating for 3 key funding priorities for our system, which will benefit you and your children. In summary, there are:
- $25m in ongoing State Government Capital Funding to ensure students in WA Catholic Schools have parity with other students across Australia.
- An additional one-off $100m over five years to address the legacy of capital underfunding for Catholic schools in the Kimberley.
- The State Government meets $2m cost for insurance and risk management in the Kimberley and collaborates with CEWA in cases of uninsured losses.
