Prayer

A prayer for our earth

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe

and in the smallest of your creatures.

You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.

Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty.

Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth, so precious in your eyes.

Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.

Touch the hearts of those who look only for gain at

the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be

filled with awe and contemplation, to recognize that

we are profoundly united with every creature

as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day.

Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle

for justice, love and peace.

- Pope Francis

Australian Government Recurrent Funding

2016

• In 2013, CECWA commissioned a working party into the new

distribution of Australia Government Recurrent Funding

(AGRF).

• The working party was made up of members from the

Catholic Education Office, principals, bursars, and members

of CECWA.

• In June 2015, CECWA approved the new Funding Allocation

Model based upon a student centred, per capita cost

approach.

• Schools now receive their AGRF on a per capita basis

according to a Base and Loadings distribution model.

State Government Funding 2016

• State Government funding for schools comes through

• Per Capita Funding

• Students with Disabilities (SWD) Funding

• The budget has assumed no increase in State Government

Recurrent Funding. • Most schools in the Catholic Education System currently receive

State Funding per capita at: Primary $2,114/student Secondary $3,439/student

Fees for 2016

Fee increases will be determined by:

the increase in 2016 Australian Government Recurrent Funding

under the new funding model (3%)

zero increase in State funding

the anticipated increase in school costs by a cost index (3% for

2016)

The community’s ability to contribute based on its Socio Economic
