School grant allocations to all secondary schools for 2008, 2009 and 2010 are attached [see tabled paper no.].  The reasons for the disparity between the grant allocations to secondary schools across 2008, 2009 and 2010 are:
·               The impact of the half cohort in 2010.  Components of the school grant are determined by actual student numbers.  In 2010 the half cohort entered year eight, reducing the number of students enrolled in secondary schools, with a corresponding increase in primary schools.
·               The inclusion of the School Support Programs Resource Allocation within school grants from 2009.
·               The discontinuation of the $100 Government Secondary Subsidy payment to secondary schools from 2010.
