NON-GOVERNMENT SECTORS UNITE TO ACHIEVE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR SCHOOLS
Funding by the South Australian government for recurrent needs is amongst the lowest in the nation and no direct State capital grants exist.
In seeking additional State funds for non-government schools, the AISSA and the South Australian Catholic Schools Commission establish a closer level of cooperation through a meeting of school Principals from the two sectors. Teams of school leaders and parents from both non-government sectors in each state electorate meet with local candidates to outline the necessity of full and fair funding for all schools.
State Governments are the major source of funding for Government schools. 94% of South Australian State Government funding is allocated to South Australian Government schools (Productivity Commission Report on Government Services, 2007)
