Question On Notice No. 1471 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 August 2018 by Hon Alison Xamon

Question Directed to the: Minister for Education and Training
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
Tabled Paper No: 1744- View tabled paper


Question

For each public school in Western Australia, would the Minister please list:
(a) the Federal funding contribution for 2018;
(b) the State funding contribution for 2018; and
(c) the estimated School Resource Standard percentage met by:
(i) Federal funding; and
(ii) State funding?

Answered on 11 September 2018

(a)-(b)

In 2017-18, the Commonwealth Government’s Quality Schools funding contribution towards public schools in Western Australia was $658.9 million. A further $78.3 million was provided for special projects, including funding allocated for capital projects.

The Commonwealth’s contribution is combined with the State’s funding contribution and allocated to public schools through the State’s student-centred funding model (SCFM). As a result, the specific Commonwealth and State contributions for each public school cannot be determined.

The information you request is available for every public school at Schools Online – https://www.det.wa.edu.au/schoolsonline. I table the attached information.

This document outlines funding for all public schools in 2018 as at 28 March 2018. Further disability adjustments, targeted initiatives, operational response allocations and regional allocations may occur during the school year.

(c)(i)-(ii)

As the specific Commonwealth and State funding contributions cannot be determined for individual public schools, the School Resource Standard percentage cannot be calculated at an individual school level for Commonwealth and State funding.
