Did you know Independent schools complement public schools and strengthen the entire education system.
This election, your vote matters for the future of Independent school families. With education funding and school choice at stake, it’s time to act.
Independent schools are essential to ensure every family has options that meet their children’s needs. Families who choose Independent schools often make significant sacrifices. Yet, Independent school students receive far less government funding than public school students.
Despite this, policies being put forward at the upcoming federal election threaten to reduce or eliminate funding for your child. This will unfairly punish families already stretched by cost-of-living pressures.
Cuts to funding would be devastating. Higher fees could force families to rethink their educational choices, and reduce support for schools that educate students from all disadvantaged backgrounds – including those with a disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and remote and regional students.
