a. – e. The enrolment-linked base is not allocated based on student year levels. The enrolment-linked base allocation is provided to ensure schools are able to meet general operating costs.
The allocation depends on the type of school and the size of the student population. The allocation reduces to zero once the per-student funding generates sufficient funding to meet general operating costs.
Please refer to Tabled Paper for details of the enrolment-linked base allocation for 2016.
