A LETTER FROM THE VICTORIAN CATHOLIC EDUCATION AUTHORITY

Dear Parents and Carers,

Ahead of the Federal election on 3 May, we wanted to share some important  information for you to consider as you make your voting decision.

Catholic schools play a vital role in Victoria’s education system with our sector educating one in five Victorian students. 

Australian Government recurrent and capital funding is critical to ensuring that our students have access to the quality learning and teaching programs and facilities that they need to achieve their full potential.

In Monash there are 3,899 students across the 12 schools in the electorate from 2,599 families.  All students and families in Catholic schools in Monash should be able to have confidence in ongoing Federal support for their choice to access a high-quality Catholic education.

The Liberal National coalition has committed to continuing current funding arrangements for Catholic schools into the future.

The Catholic sector has written to the Independents running in Monash and we have not received a response.

Please take this letter into consideration ahead of the Federal election and thank you for your ongoing support of your school.
