1 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS Delivering Quality Education Helping Keep Queensland Communities Strong

2 Catholic provide a high quality, faith-based and affordable educational option for Queensland families Catholic are equipping future generations of Queensland children with the skills and values to contribute constructively to community life, build meaningful careers and ensure Queensland is globally competitive into the future. The Catholic sector has been educating young Queenslanders for more than 160 years and is well placed to continue this strong legacy by teaching the skills of the 21st century. In 2014, there are 296 Catholic in Queensland educating 1 in 5 students in the state and employing more than 17,000 teachers and staff. Enrolments in Queensland Catholic have grown by an average of approximately 2.0% each year over the past decade. 296 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS IN QUEENSLAND Queensland s Catholic serve metropolitan, regional, rural and remote communities in locations as varied as Thursday Island, inner Brisbane, Longreach and all Queensland regional cities. Catholic provide Queenslanders with a great education, regardless of their circumstances or where they live. Contributing to stronger Queensland communities Our Christian values are at the heart of what we do Catholic strive to provide a high quality education, advancing the common good of society. They believe in the intrinsic value of each student based on a distinctive educational vision inspired by Jesus Christ. Research shows that parents and students choose Catholic for a number of reasons including: Mt Isa Winton Longreach Thursday Island Cairns Townsville 26 DIOCESE OF CAIRNS 32 DIOCESE OF TOWNSVILLE Rockhampton 40 DIOCESE OF ROCKHAMPTON the Christian values taught by Catholic care for the well-being of students, teachers and staff a commitment to the holistic development of students: spiritually, intellectually, physically, culturally, socially and emotionally the pursuit of academic excellence the teaching of self-discipline based on respect for others a vision of hope for the future strong partnerships with parents, parish and community. 164 Quilpie 34 Brisbane ARCHDIOCESE OF BRISBANE DIOCESE OF TOOWOOMBA Toowoomba Tweed Heads

3 Open and inclusive to all who seek the values of Catholic Catholic aim to cater for the needs of all students and families and welcome students from diverse cultural, social and economic backgrounds, which include some of the most disadvantaged communities in Queensland. Catholic seek to remain as affordable as possible and no child should be denied a Catholic education because of their family s financial situation. Catholic are committed to the education of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and students with disabilities and other special needs, including new arrival and refugee students. Numbers of students in these categories have increased significantly in recent years. ENROLMENT GROWTH IN QUEENSLAND CATHOLIC SCHOOLS All , with Disabilities , , Eleven flexible learning centres catering for students who have become marginalised from mainstream schooling are also operated by Catholic schooling authorities in Queensland. Achieving strong outcomes 1, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander , Statistics show that students in Catholic consistently achieve above state averages in NAPLAN testing and successfully graduate from Catholic into university degrees, Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, apprenticeships and the workforce. 3, MAIN DESTINATION OF YEAR 12 COMPLETERS CATHOLIC SCHOOLS 2013 NAPLAN 2014 READING & NUMERACY MEAN SCALE SCORES READING SCORES 48.6% Bachelor degree 8.1% Working full-time YR QLD CATHOLIC SECTOR ALL QLD SCHOOLS YR 5 YR 7 YR 9 % at or above minimum standards 21.5% Vocational education and training 14.7% Working part-time 6.1% Seeking work 1.0% Not studying or in labour force NUMERACY SCORES QLD CATHOLIC SECTOR ALL QLD SCHOOLS 94.7% 93.5% YR % 92.8% 97.1% 94.5% % at or above minimum standards 97.0% 94.7% YR % 93.0% YR % 95.4% 93.9% 90.9% YR % 94.3%

4 Developing our greatest resource In the school setting, quality teaching is the single greatest contributor to improving outcomes for students. The Catholic sector has welcomed an additional $52 million (approximately) from the Queensland Government over four years beginning in 2015 as part of the Great teachers = Great results program. Great teachers = Great results This additional funding will assist Catholic to further support teachers to develop their skills and consider other ways to improve teacher quality and performance. The funding will be used to: improve teaching and learning recognise and promote the development of high performing teachers promote and support great teachers, especially in the areas of early years, students with disability, learning difficulties and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education, family and community engagement promote partnerships across, authorities, sectors and providers to enhance and provide professional excellence develop excellence in mentoring and coaching develop aspiring leaders.

5 Planning for the future Meeting the schooling needs of Queensland s growing population Meeting the schooling needs of our growing population will be a major challenge in Queensland over the next two decades and beyond. Demand for places in Queensland Catholic is projected to increase by around 60,000 students between 2011 and 2031, requiring the development of 2-3 new every year and expansion of many others. PROJECTED ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS SEEKING A CATHOLIC EDUCATION ,000 Delivering this required school infrastructure will only be possible with significant government support. The Catholic sector has a strong track record of innovative and cost-effective delivery of school infrastructure. By meeting the cost of land purchase and other Catholic community contributions, the Catholic sector also delivers new school places at a significant saving to government and taxpayers. Demand for places in Queensland Catholic is projected to increase by around 60,000 students between 2011 and 2031 GROWING IN THE EARLY YEARS Catholic education in Queensland has made a strong commitment to increasing programs for preschool age children. In 2014, 23 stand-alone kindergartens are located across the five dioceses. Qualified early childhood teachers are delivering a fully accredited educational program to over 850 children. Additional kindergarten services continue to be considered in locations where there is an identified need within Catholic parish and school communities. READY FOR YEAR 7 TO SECONDARY 2015 The move of Year 7 to secondary is a historic and exciting development that will open up new educational opportunities for students of this age. Catholic are well prepared to welcome both Year 7 and Year 8 to secondary school in 2015.

6 Delivering savings for the Queensland Government Every child educated in a Catholic school delivers significant savings to the Queensland Government and taxpayers. According to the latest figures available Catholic received only about 81% of the total average government annual funding per student received by government. School fees paid by parents and grants from the Australian Government deliver significant ongoing savings in costs of education to the Queensland Government when students attend Catholic. Of total income of Queensland Catholic, 59% is provided by the Australian Government, 20% by Queensland Government and 21% is provided by parent and community contributions. Even when parent contributions are taken into account, total net average annual recurrent income per student in Queensland Catholic is $11,675 while for state the figure is $12,021 and for Independent is $14, % On average Catholic receive only 81% of the government funding per student received by state Catholic $9,238 per student received in government funding State $11,440 received in government funding per student QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS ANNUAL RECURRENT INCOME PER STUDENT 2012 $9,238 $11,440 $11,675 $12,021 $14,426 Catholic State Catholic State Independent Total government funding per student (MySchool website 2012) Total net recurrent income per student (government funding + parent and community contributions) (MySchool website 2012) Published September 2014
