Catholic Education WA Executive Director Wayne Bull said in WA, unlike other states, Catholic schools do not receive state government funding for capital despite parents, who are exercising school choice by enrolling their child in a Catholic school, contributing school fees on top of paying taxes.
As Western Australia turns its attention to long term recovery efforts in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the combined contribution that Catholic schools make to the State’s economy and community has never been more significant.
In her foreword for Building a Brighter WA, Catholic Education Western Australia Ltd Executive Director Dr Debra Sayce speaks about the key priorities of CEWA ahead of the Federal election.
