At the moment, Catholic schools are funded at 20 per cent less than government schools. Including school fees, this funding gap is 10 per cent. Every effort is made to ensure that the children’s learning needs are met, so they can reach their full potential and achieve their best. Our schools seek to foster a sense of community. Our teachers and staff work with families to develop the whole child: spiritually, emotionally, academically, physically, socially and culturally. Students in Catholic schools are encouraged to engage with their communities, serve others and embrace social justice. Our schools need government funding to help build a strong community.
