(a)-(b)
In 2017-18, the Commonwealth Government’s Quality Schools funding contribution towards public schools in Western Australia was $658.9 million. A further $78.3 million was provided for special projects, including funding allocated for capital projects.
The Commonwealth’s contribution is combined with the State’s funding contribution and allocated to public schools through the State’s student-centred funding model (SCFM). As a result, the specific Commonwealth and State contributions for each public school cannot be determined.
The information you request is available for every public school at Schools Online – https://www.det.wa.edu.au/schoolsonline . I table the attached information.
This document outlines funding for all public schools in 2018 as at 28 March 2018. Further disability adjustments, targeted initiatives, operational response allocations and regional allocations may occur during the school year.
(c)(i)-(ii)
As the specific Commonwealth and State funding contributions cannot be determined for individual public schools, the School Resource Standard percentage cannot be calculated at an individual school level for Commonwealth and State funding.
