community, your-news, Budget boost for South Coast schools
Students in South Coast public schools will benefit from the funding certainty delivered in their school budget allocations for next year. Member for South Coast Shelley Hancock said the allocations are part of $10.1 billion in annual Gonski funding being delivered to public schools for 2021. The distribution of funding through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM) ensures that the best possible learning opportunities are provided to directly benefit the 2021 student cohort. Mrs Hancock said over $15.8 Million in funding for the South Coast delivers support where it is needed the most, to students and schools with the greatest need. "2021 will be the eighth year that the Resource Allocation Model has delivered funding certainty to schools to enable them to plan so that improvements will touch every classroom, be the work of every teacher and impact every student," she said.

"Needs-based funding underpins the great strength of public education - equity of opportunity and will ensure schools in the South Coast electorate continue to flourish and deliver those opportunities," Mrs Hancock added.
