Australian Catholic Schools 2013

Foreword Almost 200 years since they began in Australia, Catholic schools continue to provide first-rate education and are proving to be as popular as ever. A total of 747,775 children attended Australia s 1,711 Catholic schools in 2013. The increased enrolment of 12,000 students a 1.7 per cent rise from 2012 represents the largest annual enrolment increase Catholic schools have ever experienced. The numbers tell only part of the story. In those 1,711 schools, dedicated staff are working with families to improve student outcomes and make Catholic schools more inclusive, while helping to preserve the unique aspects of Catholic education. Australian Catholic Schools 2013 captures a broad range of data, representing the depth and reach of Catholic education. The statistics are compiled and published as part of the National Catholic Education Commission s commitment to transparency and accountability. The growth in the number of young people in Catholic education is a measure of the quality education provided by Catholic schools, with their focus on educating the whole person intellectually, spiritually, physically, morally and emotionally. Catholic education strives to provide equity and educational opportunity for all, no matter what barriers individuals or their community faces. The mission of Catholic education is to overcome disadvantage, and 2013 was a year when the doors of Catholic schools were opened even wider. Across Australia, there was an increase of more than 5 per cent in the number of students with disability in Catholic schools and an increase of more than 7 per cent in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students on the 2012 figures. Catholic education has a strong commitment to regional and remote education. The 28.4 per cent of students attending Catholic schools and campuses outside major cities is greater than the 27 per cent of Australian school students living in rural and remote areas. The financial sustainability of Catholic schools must be protected. Catholic schools play an integral role in Australia s education system, helping to build a system that will meet Australia s future educational needs. Australian Catholic Schools 2013 provides a statistical snapshot of Catholic education. Across the country, Catholic schools are helping to shape Australia s students, with the trust and confidence of the parents of almost 750,000 students.

Catholic School Enrolment Trends Number of Schools There were 1,711 Catholic schools in Australia in 2013 (Table 1). As Map 1 shows, Catholic education has a significant comprehensive national geographical coverage, including outside of the capital cities. Map 1: Location of Catholic schools and campuses, 2013 Graph 1 highlights that while the overall number of Catholic schools has been increasing since 2004, the number of schools is fewer than in 1989 when there were 1,722 Catholic schools in Australia. However, the net change in Catholic schools each year is the result of the combination of new schools, school closures and school amalgamations. As has been the pattern for Australian Catholic schools in previous years, the net increase from 2012 to 2013 in Catholic schools was due to the opening of six schools and closure of one school. However, there were also a number of changes to campuses. s to Catholic schools in 2013 are reported in s to Catholic Schools (page 88). Australian Catholic Schools 2013 2

Graph 1: Number of Catholic schools, Australia, 1985-2013 Schools Table 1 shows that more than one-third of Catholic schools in Australia are located in NSW, Australia s most populous state. The table also shows that Queensland (+20) and Western Australia (+15) have had the largest net increase in schools since 1985.

Types of Schools There were 1,232 Catholic primary schools, 335 secondary schools, 134 combined primary/secondary schools and 10 special schools in Australia in 2013 (Table 3). Primary and secondary schools are those schools that have (only) primary or (only) secondary students enrolled, although the grade range for primary and secondary students does vary between states and territories. Combined schools are those schools that have both primary and secondary students enrolled at the school. Special schools are those schools which satisfy the definition of a school and are designated by the relevant state or territory education authority as a special school. A special school caters predominantly for students who have one or more of the following characteristics: intellectually disabled, physically disabled, hearing impaired, visually impaired, autistic, or socially/emotionally disturbed. Schools such as intensive language centres, schools where the distinguishing feature is the lack of a formal curriculum, schools for exceptionally gifted or talented students, distance education schools and special assistance schools that cater primarily for students with social, emotional or behavioural difficulties are not special schools. The overwhelming majority of primary schools (98%) enrol students from the first year of primary schooling to the final year of primary schooling. For secondary schools, 87% of schools enrol students for all secondary grades. Forty-one per cent of combined primary/secondary schools enrol students comprehensively from the first year to the final year of schooling, while 59% enrol students for only a portion of school grades. Table 3: Number of schools by school type, states and territories, 2013 Primary Secondary Combined Special All Schools ACT 23 5 2 0 30 New South Wales 417 135 25 6 583 Northern Territory 7 5 5 0 17 Queensland 198 72 26 0 296 South Australia 68 14 19 2 103 Tasmania 25 7 5 0 37 Victoria 382 91 11 2 486 Western Australia 112 6 41 0 159 Australia 1,232 335 134 10 1,711 Table 3 shows that the majority of Catholic schools in Australia are primary (only) schools, and partially reflects the historical context of Australian Catholic education. However, there are significant differences in the proportion of primary only schools across the states and territories, as is highlighted in Table 4. As this table highlights, while 72% of Australian schools are primary schools, this varies from 41% in the Northern Territory to 79% in Victoria. The relatively low proportion of combined primary/secondary schools in Victoria, combined with its proportion of secondary schools (even though this state has the second largest number of secondary schools) results in its significantly higher proportion of primary schools than for other states.

However, different school types are also a reflection of a geographical dimension for providing Catholic education in Australia. Table 5 and Table 6 show the number and proportion of schools by remoteness, and highlight the different distributions of primary and secondary schools, while special schools are only located in the major cities. As the tables report, there are fewer secondary only Catholic schools beyond the major cities and inner regional Australia than there are combined primary/secondary schools, with there being no secondary only schools in very remote Australia.

Boarding Schools Fifty-four Australian Catholic schools provide boarding facilities for students (Table 7). Depending on the individual school, boarding may include full boarding, and/or include weekly boarding where students live at the college weekdays (or until the completion of Saturday sporting commitments). Table 7 shows nearly two-thirds of Catholic boarding schools in Australia are in either NSW (33%) or Queensland (28%), but even in these states, boarding schools are only a small proportion of Catholic schools. Table 8 shows that three-quarters (76%) of boarding schools are located in the major cities and inner regional Australia. While boarding schools in metropolitan areas are likely to have historically enrolled students from rural and isolated communities, and continue to do so, a proportion of students in boarding schools are from the city in which the school is located and from overseas.

Co-educational and Single-Sex schools Table 9 shows that 90% of Catholic schools are co-educational, and that this is similar for schools located in the major cities (Table 10). However, as Table 11 shows, single-sex schools are almost entirely the domain of secondary education, with only two primary schools and no special schools being a single-sex school. Similarly, many combined primary/secondary schools limit enrolments for both males and females to some grades (most commonly the earlier grades in the school). Table 9 shows that nationally, there are more female-only schools (92) than male-only schools (75). In most states, the proportion of male- and female-only schools is similar, although Queensland, South Australia and Victoria have a marginally larger number of female-only schools than male-only schools.

Student Enrolment Trends There were 747,775 students in Australian Catholic schools in 2013, which was an increase of 12,372 or 1.7% from the previous year. This was the largest annual increase, both in the number of students and the annual percentage growth, since 1985 (the first year of available data). Since 1985, the number of students has increased by 172,770, which is a 28% increase in the number of students. Graph 2 and Table 12 show that the number of students in Catholic schools has increased every single year since 1985. However, the annual growth has not always been consistent across years. For example, enrolments increased by just 235 students from 1992 to 1993, while this year s growth was more than 12,000 students.

Table 13 shows that the number of students increased from 2012 to 2013 in every state and territory, and that Victoria (+3,977), NSW (+4,224) and Queensland (+2,753) combined contributed more than 85% of the growth in Catholic school enrolments from 2012 to 2013. However, the Northern Territory had the largest percentage increase in enrolments (3.8%), which was more than double the national average for enrolment growth (1.7%). Table 13: s in Catholic school enrolments, by states and territories, 2012-2013 2013 (FTE) from 2012 since 1985 ACT 17,795 310 1,992 New South Wales 251,158 4,224 41,978 Northern Territory 4,813 184 638 Queensland 140,906 2,753 55,478 South Australia 48,651 276 16,444 Tasmania 14,778 153 3,504 Victoria 201,468 3,977 27,015 Western Australia 68,226 808 25,722 Australia 747,795 12,685 172,771 More than half a million students were enrolled in Catholic schools located in the major cities of Australia in 2013, and 212,271 students were enrolled in Catholic schools outside of the major cities (Table 14). The proportion of students in the major cities (72%) is significantly higher than for the proportion of schools (62%) located in the major cities. This difference in the proportions of schools and students indicates that nationally, there are not unexpectedly important differences in the structure and profiles of Catholic schools and schooling when the major cities are compared to the rest of Australia. Detailed analysis on the connection between school size, remoteness and resourcing is provided in The Sectoral Trends of Australian Schooling (Volume 1) (available at http://www.ncec.catholic.edu.au).

Primary and Secondary Enrolment Trends Of particular interest are the varying patterns of growth across both primary and secondary schools. Graph 3 illustrates the changing proportions of primary and secondary enrolments in Catholic education. Since 1985, 55% of the growth in Catholic school enrolments has been in secondary students, which have increased by 95,668, while primary enrolments have increased by 77,101. However, from 2012 to 2013, the increase in primary enrolments (+6,831) was greater than the increase in secondary enrolments (+5,540). Graph 3: Students in Catholic schools, primary and secondary, Australia, 1985-2013 Primary Students Students Secondary Students Table 15 shows that 89% of primary students enrolled in Catholic schools are located in the major cities and inner regional Australia, while 93% of secondary students are enrolled in schools in these regions. This difference between the primary and secondary enrolments reflects the history and geography of Catholic secondary education in remote Australia; the structure of primary, secondary and combined primary/secondary schools; and the accessibility to Catholic secondary, and post-compulsory secondary, education in rural Australia.

Table 16 reports the changes from 2012 to 2013 in the primary and secondary enrolments in each of the states and territories, as well as the overall change since 1985. The table reports that primary enrolments increased in all states and territories, other than the Northern Territory (-13). Although the national increase in primary enrolments was greater than the increase in secondary enrolments, NSW and the Northern Territory had a larger increase in secondary than in primary enrolments from 2012 to 2013.

Graphs 6 to 13 highlight that, although there are different primary and secondary enrolment patterns across the states and territories, the majority of states and territories have witnessed the convergence of primary and secondary enrolments in Catholic schools.

Student Retention Part of the growth in secondary enrolments has been created by students enrolling in Catholic secondary schools as their first enrolment in a Catholic school, and by students increasingly tending to stay in Catholic schools once they commence. Retention rates in excess of 100% from Catholic primary years to Catholic secondary years means in effect that there are more students in the first year of Catholic secondary education than there were in the last year of Catholic primary education the previous year 1. Clearly, many students from other schools commence their Catholic education in secondary school. Anecdotal evidence suggests that a considerable number of these are Catholic students for whom the local government primary school was more convenient or preferable than the Catholic school. Graph 14 shows that the apparent retention rate for students from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary has been greater than 100% for both boys and girls since 1986; overall, it has continued to increase in most years. Table 17 reports that the retention from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary was greater than 110% in all states and territories in 2013, which highlights the large number of students enrolling in Catholic secondary education as the first enrolment in a Catholic school. Over 12,000 students in the first year of Catholic secondary education in 2013 had not been in primary education in a Catholic school in 2012.

A contributing factor to the increase in enrolments in Catholic secondary education has been the increasing improvement in the secondary apparent retention rate in the 1980s and early 1990s, although this is now fairly stable in all states. Significantly, there has always been a difference in apparent retention rates between boys and girls in all school sectors and that is no less evident in Catholic schools, and the apparent retention rate for girls remains consistently higher than for boys. The apparent retention rate for post-compulsory education (students in Catholic schools staying from Year 10 to complete Year 12) increased significantly from 1987 to 1992 (for females) and 1993 (for males). Although retention rates increased slightly from 2004 to 2010, they have increased noticeably from 2011. In 2013, the retention rate was 85.5% for Catholic schools nationally 88.2% for females and 82.8% for males (Table 18).

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students The number and proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) students has increased significantly over the period from 1985 to 2013 (Graph 16 and Table 19), and in all states and territories (Table 20). In 2013, there were 18,723 Indigenous students in Catholic schools, which represented 2.5% of all students in Australian Catholic schools. This was an increase of 1,374 students from the previous year, which was the largest increase since 1985. Graph 17 shows that Indigenous enrolments in Catholic schools increased from 2012 to 2013 in all states and territories.

Remoteness Table 21 shows that there is significant difference in the enrolment patterns for Indigenous and non-indigenous students in urban and rural Catholic schools. While 2.5% of students in Catholic schools overall are Indigenous, these students comprise only a small proportion (1%) of students in the Catholic schools in the major cities. By comparison, more than two-thirds of students in a Catholic school in very remote Australia are Indigenous. Over one-third (37%) of the total number of Indigenous students are in the major cities. However, almost three-quarters (73%) of non-indigenous students are in Catholic schools in the major cities. By comparison, nearly one in five (19%) Indigenous students are in remote or very remote Australia, compared with just 1% of non-indigenous students in Australian Catholic schools.

In 1985, there were 3,697 Indigenous primary students, and this has more than doubled to 10,678 primary students in 2013. However, the growth in secondary Indigenous students has been even more significant, with the number of secondary Indigenous students more than quadrupled from 1985 to 2013. Since 1985, the number of secondary Indigenous students has increased from 1,726 to 8,045. Although the increase in secondary enrolments has been more dramatic, the number of primary Indigenous enrolments has been greater (+6,981) than the secondary enrolments (+6,319), partly due to the relatively lower proportion of Indigenous secondary students (Table 22). From 1997 to 2008, the increase in the number of secondary Indigenous students had been greater than the increase in the primary Indigenous students in most years, and secondary enrolments now represent 42% of Indigenous enrolments. The annual increase in Indigenous primary students was larger than the increase of Indigenous secondary students from 2009 to 2012. In 2013, Indigenous primary enrolments increased by 574, and Indigenous secondary enrolments increased by 800 students. This was the largest annual increase for Indigenous secondary enrolments since 1985. Australian Catholic Schools 2013 18

Table 23 shows that there are significant differences across the states and territories in the proportion of Indigenous students in primary or secondary Catholic education. These differences reflect historical enrolment trends, the significant difference for Indigenous students in urban and rural Catholic schools (reported in the previous section) and limited access to non-metropolitan Catholic secondary education in some states.

Indigenous Retention Rates As discussed earlier, part of the growth in secondary schools has been created by students enrolling in Catholic secondary schools as the first enrolment in a Catholic school. Graph 19 shows that the rate for Indigenous students enrolling in Catholic secondary schools, as the first enrolment in a Catholic school, has been increasing almost every year since 1994, and the retention from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary is higher for Indigenous students (137%) than for non-indigenous students (122%). As such, since 2002, a higher proportion of Indigenous secondary students had not attended a Catholic primary school than non-indigenous secondary students. However, as the graph illustrates, the trend was significantly different prior to 2002. Graph 19: Apparent retention rates for Indigenous and non-indigenous students, Catholic primary to Catholic secondary schools, Australia, 1986-2013 Apparent Retention Rate Non-Indigenous Students Indigenous Students Another contributing factor to the increase in Indigenous enrolments in Catholic secondary schools has been the increasing improvement in students remaining beyond compulsory education until Year 12. Graph 20 shows that while the retention rate from Year 10 to Year 12 has, since 1992, been consistently at about 80% for non-indigenous students, the retention for Indigenous students from Year 10 to Year 12 has been significantly different to the non-indigenous students. However, as the graph highlights, while the retention to Year 12 for Indigenous students was only 24% in 1987, the gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous retention has been closing since 1993. Since 2010, the difference between the Year 10 to Year 12 retention rate for Indigenous and non-indigenous students has reduced significantly, and in 2013, the post-compulsory retention rate for Indigenous students in Australian Catholic schools was 81.3%, compared to 85.6% for non-indigenous students.

Students with a Disability Students with a disability (SWD) in Catholic schools have increased from 1985 to 2012 (Graph 21 and Table 25) particularly since the advent of the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act in 1992 and the promulgation of the education standards under the Disability Discrimination Act in 2005. In 2013, there were 32,307 SWD in Catholic schools, which was an increase of 1,801 students from the previous year. Graph 22 and Table 26 show that the number of SWD increased from 2012 to 2013 in every state and territory, other than Western Australia (-40). NSW had the largest increase in SWD, with an increase of 662 students from 2012 to 2013. Students with a disability represent 4.3% of students in Australian Catholic schools. The Northern Territory has the highest proportion of SWD (6.5%), while the ACT has the lowest proportion (2.8%). To receive Commonwealth funding, SWD must meet all of the following criteria. Students must 1) have an intellectual, sensory, physical or social/emotional impairment or multiple impairments; 2) have been formally assessed as having the impairment by a person with relevant qualifications to the impairment being assessed (i.e. medical practitioners/specialists, psychologists, social workers, members of the therapy professions, visiting teacher services or guidance officers in schools); and 3) the degree of impairment must be sufficient to satisfy the criteria for enrolment in government special education services or programmes in the State or Territory.

Remoteness Table 27 shows that almost three in every four (73%) SWD are enrolled in Catholic schools in the major cities. However, the table also shows that SWD, as a proportion of all students in each of the remoteness categories (other than for very remote Australia), is similar across all of the categories. To illustrate, 4.4% of the students enrolled in Catholic schools in the major cities are SWD, comparable with 4.0% of the students enrolled in Catholic schools in remote Australia. However, the proportion of SWD in very remote Australia is significantly higher than for the other remoteness categories.

Table 29 shows that while the majority of states and territories have a similar proportion of SWD in primary and secondary education, the ACT has a significantly higher proportion in secondary education (50% compared with the national average of 41%), while South Australia and Western Australia have significantly higher proportions of SWD in primary education.

In the past year, primary SWD enrolments increased in all states and territories, other than the Northern Territory (-1) and Western Australia (-83), while secondary enrolments increased in all states and territories. Victoria had the largest increase in primary SWD enrolments (+302) and NSW had the largest increase in secondary SWD enrolments (+385) from 2012 to 2013.

SWD Retention Rates Graph 24 shows the retention of SWD from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary (red line), and post-compulsory retention (blue line). The retention from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary has remained consistently around 80% (other than for the period from 1991 and 1992, which most likely reflects the advent of the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act in 1992), but has been declining in the past two years. In 2013, the retention rate from Catholic primary to Catholic secondary education for SWD was 98.5%, which was significantly lower than the retention from primary to secondary Catholic schools for non-swd enrolments. Graph 24 also shows that the post-compulsory retention rates (Year 10 to Year 12) for SWD. In 1987, the retention rate for SWD in Australian Catholic schools was just 10%, but this increased significantly to just over 40% from 1986 to 1991. From 1991 to 2006, postcompulsory retention rates for SWD increased steadily; and in 2007 increased to more than 60%. Since 2007, post-compulsory retention has increased at a greater rate. In 2013, the postcompulsory retention rate for SWD in Australian Catholic schools was 98.5%.

SWD in Special/Regular Schools While there may be some perception that students with a disability are predominantly enrolled in special schools, the overwhelming majority of SWD (97%) are enrolled in regular Catholic schools. As Graph 25 and Table 31 highlight, this has been consistently so, since 1995 (the first year of reliable data). Since 1995, the number of students in special schools has increased by 352 (from 518 to 870 students). By comparison, the number of SWD in regular schools has increased by 22,531 students (from 8,906 to 31,437).

Full-Fee Paying Overseas Students Catholic schools entered the FFPOS scheme on its introduction by the Commonwealth Government in 1989. In the following years, at least until 1997, the number of FFPOS grew quickly and consistently (Graph 26). From 1997 to 2001, FFPOS declined in all states and territories except NSW, and this was attributable to a number of factors including the fact that Catholic schools found that there were considerable pastoral challenges involved in providing for such students. From 2001 to 2004, FFPOS enrolments increased nationally, due to the increase in FFPOS enrolments in NSW, South Australia and Victoria. From 2005 to 2006, NSW had a decrease of 108 FFPOS, which was the major contribution to the decrease of 179 FFPOS that year. From 2006 to 2009, the number of FFPOS increased nationally, but has declined each year since 2009. In 2013, there were 1,262 FFPOS in Australian Catholic schools, which was a decrease of 360 students from 2012. All states and territories had a decrease in FFPOS from 2012 to 2013. NSW had the largest number of FFPOS in 2013 (337 students) but also the largest decrease in FFPOS from 2012 to 2013 (-146 students).

Table 33 shows that 90% of FFPOS enrolled in schools in either the major cities or in inner regional Australia. Only 25 FFPOS were enrolled in remote or very remote Australia in 2013.

In 1989, FFPOS were almost exclusively enrolled in secondary education, but from 1996 to 2006, the proportion of FFPOS in primary schools increased significantly (other than in 2002 and 2003). Although there was a marginal decrease in the proportion of the primary FFPOS in 2007 and 2008, primary enrolments, as a proportion of total FFPOS, have increased annually since 2009. This increase in the proportion is due to the increasing number of primary FFPOS, and the decrease in secondary FFPOS. More than one in four (21%) FFPOS in a Catholic school in 2013 were primary students.

Very few Catholic schools in Australia have large numbers of FFPOS. Of the 249 schools with FFPOS enrolled in 2013, only 2% (four schools) had more than 50 FFPOS. Significantly, however, 85% of Catholic schools in Australia had no FFPOS enrolled in 2013.

Catholic and Non-Catholic Students Table 35 reports that there were 526,077 Catholic students and 223,584 non-catholic students in Australian Catholic schools in 2013. As the table shows, the proportion of non-catholic students now represents 30% of enrolments in Australian Catholic schools, and this proportion has increased by 1% every year since 2006 (the first national census by NCEC). Graph 29 and Table 36 illustrate that the increased proportion of non-catholic students in Catholic schools has been predominantly due to an increase in non-catholic students, although there was also a decline in Catholic students in some years. As a result, over the past eight years, Catholic enrolments in Australian Catholic schools have had a net increase of 5,153 students, while non- Catholic enrolments have increased by 57,866 students.

Table 37 reports that Western Australia (24%) and NSW (25%) are the states with the lowest proportion of non-catholic students, while Northern Territory (53%) and Tasmania (51%) remains the jurisdictions with the highest proportion of non-catholic enrolments. However, while there are significant differences between the states and territories in the proportion of Catholic and non-catholic students, the annual change in the proportion of non-catholic students (increasing by about 1% per year since 2006) has been almost identical across all states and territories.

Table 38 shows this change in Catholic and non-catholic enrolments in the states and territories from 2012 to 2013, as well as the total change in enrolments since 2006 (the first year these data were collected). The table shows that Catholic enrolments increased in NSW, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia. Other than Tasmania, the increase in non-catholic enrolments was greater than the increase (or decrease) in Catholic enrolments. In 2013, Tasmania was the only state or territory to have a decrease in non-catholic enrolments. Combined with the increase in Catholic enrolments, the proportion of Catholic students in Tasmania increased from 46% in 2012 to 49% in 2013.

Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff More than 87,000 people (head count) were employed in Catholic schools in Australia in 2013 (Table 40). Staff head counts (HC) illustrate the overall number of people employed in Catholic schools (and one illustration of the contribution that Australian Catholic schools make to the Australian economy); while the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) staff provides the more appropriate measure of staffing change and resources in Catholic schools. Head count includes part-time staff (irrespective of the staff s workload), whereas full-time equivalent (as the title suggests) reports the proportion of the workload of part-time staff, as well as the number of full-time staff (the FTE for a full-time person is 1). Teachers in combined primary/secondary schools, for example, may teach both primary and secondary students and would be counted as a 0.5 FTE primary, and 0.5 FTE secondary teacher, or 1.0 for total teachers. While FTE is rounded to one decimal place at the individual school, this report records the number of FTE as whole numbers. Staff trends in this section report FTE, rather than head count staffing numbers. Graph 30 and Table 40 show that there has been a significant increase in staff in Australian Catholic schools from 1989 to 2013, with a 28,466 increase in FTE staff. From 1989 to 2013, the number of teachers increased by 16,447, while the number of non-teaching staff has increased by 12,020.

Table 41 reports the change in staff in the states and territories from 2012 to 2013, as well as the change in staff since 1989. As the table shows, the staffing increased in all states and territories from 2012 to 2013. Caution should be taken when drawing inferences of correlation between enrolment change and staff growth, or attempting to calculate class size differences or resourcing across states, as the resourcing of the additional staff was not distributed proportionally across the school levels (primary and secondary), equally between schools of increasing or decreasing growth, or uniformly between teaching and non-teaching staff.

This change from 2012 to 2013 in the number of teachers and of non-teaching staff is illustrated in Graph 31. In 2013, the majority of growth in staff in Catholic schools in Australia was due to the increase in teaching staff (63%), rather than non-teaching staff. This was in contrast to 2009 and 2010 when non-teaching staff represented the majority growth. As Graph 31 highlights, all states and territories, other than Tasmania, had an increase in both teaching and non-teaching staff. Tasmania had an increase in FTE teachers (+10) but a decrease in non-teaching staff (-7).

Graph 32 illustrates the proportion of teachers and non-teaching staff in Catholic schools by remoteness category. As the graph highlights, the proportion of staff that are non-teaching staff increases as the schools become less urban and more remote (although this will not be so for every school).

Non-Teaching Staff The annual national Schools Census categorises non-teaching staff by three categories administrative and clerical; specialist support staff; and building operations, and general maintenance and other staff. Administrative and clerical are staff whose main duties are of a clerical or administrative nature, and include staff such as teachers aides and assistants (including library assistants), Aboriginal education or resource officers, bursars/school administrators, accountants and IT support staff. Specialist support staff undertake functions of special benefit to students or teaching staff in the development of the school curriculum. While these staff may spend the majority of their time in contact with students, they are not employed/engaged to impart the school curriculum. Specialist support staff undertake functions in areas, or are specialists, such as student support services (career adviser, student counsellor, liaison officer), educational staff and curriculum development, psychologists, social workers, guidance officers, sports co-ordinator, pathway planning officer and industry liaison officer (for technical colleges). Building operations, general maintenance and other Staff include staff that provide services such as janitorial, building, grounds or general maintenance or associated technical services, staff that provide the repair and servicing of equipment such as video machines and laboratory equipment, staff engaged on school-initiated special projects, as well as school nurses, matrons, canteen staff and other general staff. Since 1989, the number of non-teaching staff in Australian Catholic schools has increased by 12,020 staff (Table 47). Graph 33 highlights that the largest growth in non-teaching staff has been in administrative staff. From 1989 to 2013, the number of administrative staff has increased by 11,121, and the number of specialist support staff has increased by 930, while the number of maintenance staff has decreased by 30 (although there was an increase of 65 staff last year). This change has resulted in administrative staff increasing from 56% to 79% of non-teaching staff, and maintenance staff decreasing from 37% to 14% of non-teaching staff. Specialist support staff has remained unchanged at 7% of the non-teaching staff in Australian Catholic schools.

The tables also show the percentage that administrative, specialist support and maintenance staff represent of the total non-teaching staff in each state/territory. As the tables highlight, there is some regional variation in the (most recent and longer-term) change in specialist support and maintenance staff, and also in the relative proportion of administrative staff in some states and territories.

Female and Male Teachers There has been a significant change in the proportion of female to male teachers in Australian Catholic schools. Graph 34 illustrates that while the number of female teachers has been higher than the number of male teachers since 1989, the increase for female teachers has been significantly larger than the increase in male teachers. Table 51 shows that in 1989, there were 22,450 female teachers and 11,458 male teachers in Catholic schools, and female teachers represented 66% of all teachers. By 2013, the number of female teachers had increased by 12,792 while the number of male teachers had increased by 3,655, which has resulted in the proportion of male teachers decreasing from 34% to 30%.

Table 52 shows that, in the past year, the number of female teachers increased in all states and territories. The number of male teachers also increased in all states and territories other than the ACT (-4) and South Australia (-9) (Table 53).

Australian Catholic Schools 2013 45

Previous tables have shown that there is a difference in the staffing profile across the remoteness categories, with the proportion of teachers to non-teaching staff reducing by remoteness category (Graph 52). However, as Table 54 highlights, the proportion of female and male teachers is similar across the geographical categories. Table 54: Female and male teachers (FTE) in Catholic schools by remoteness category, Australia, 2013 Female Teachers Male Teachers Female Teachers Male Teachers Major Cities of Australia 25,208 10,739 70% 30% Inner Regional Australia 6,405 3,074 68% 32% Outer Regional Australia 2,981 1,077 73% 27% Remote Australia 473 170 74% 26% Very Remote Australia 175 54 76% 24% Total 35,242 15,114 70% 30% Primary and Secondary Male and Female Teachers Graph 35 illustrates that there has been significant growth in the number of both primary and secondary female teachers in Australian Catholic schools from 1989 to 2013. The graph also shows that there has been an increase in the number of male secondary teachers since 1989 (although not to the same extent). The graph also shows that while the number of male primary teachers has not increased to the same extent as for male secondary, or for female teachers, the number of male primary teachers in Australian Catholic schools has remained relatively constant but still increasing since 1989. Teachers in special schools are not included in these trends. Graph 35: Female and male primary and secondary teachers (FTE), Australia, 1989-2013 Female Primary Female Secondary Male Secondary Male Primary Australian Catholic Schools 2013 46

Table 55 reports the number of female and male primary teachers in Australian Catholic schools, as well as the annual and cumulative change in male and female primary teachers. The cumulative change in the increase of female and male teachers has resulted in 88% of the growth in primary teachers from 1989 to 2013 being an increase in the number of female teachers. The table highlights that while the number of male primary teachers hasn t increased significantly in any year (other than 2005), there hasn t been a decrease in the national number of male primary teachers in Catholic schools in the past quarter of a century, other than in 1997 and 1998. The significant growth in the number or female teachers since 1989, combined with the relative stability in the number of male teachers, has resulted in the significant change in the proportion of female to male primary teachers. The increasing proportion of female teachers (especially for primary teachers) is the result of the much larger growth in female primary teachers than has occurred for male primary teachers not a result of a decreasing number of male primary teachers. Table 55: Female and male primary teachers (FTE) in Catholic schools, Australia, 1989-2013 Teachers (FTE) from previous year Cumulative Female Primary Male Primary Female Primary Male Primary Female Primary Male Primary 1989 12,676 3,175 1990 12,901 3,201 225 26 225 26 1991 13,078 3,204 177 3 402 29 1992 13,056 3,249-22 45 380 74 1993 13,310 3,263 254 14 634 88 1994 13,693 3,312 383 49 1,017 137 1995 13,725 3,373 32 61 1,049 198 1996 13,936 3,384 211 11 1,260 209 1997 14,068 3,339 132-45 1,392 164 1998 14,343 3,331 275-8 1,667 156 1999 14,786 3,366 443 35 2,110 191 2000 15,170 3,442 384 76 2,494 267 2001 15,676 3,454 506 12 3,000 279 2002 16,073 3,540 397 86 3,397 365 2003 16,221 3,577 148 36 3,545 402 2004 16,417 3,594 196 18 3,741 419 2005 16,749 3,707 332 113 4,073 532 2006 17,061 3,759 312 52 4,385 584 2007 17,375 3,793 314 34 4,699 618 2008 17,677 3,828 302 35 5,001 653 2009 17,793 3,878 116 50 5,117 703 2010 18,119 3,947 326 69 5,443 772 2011 18,547 3,977 428 30 5,871 802 2012 19,011 4,053 464 76 6,335 878 2013 19,605 4,120 594 67 6,929 945 Australian Catholic Schools 2013 47

Table 56 reports the growth in secondary female and male teachers. As the table shows, the difference for the increase in female and male secondary teachers is not as significant as for primary teachers reported in Table 55. Compared to primary, where male teachers represented 12% of the growth in primary teachers, nearly one-third (32%) of the growth in secondary teachers since 1989 has been the increase in male teachers.

Table 57 reports the proportion of female and male primary teachers, and the proportion of male and female secondary teachers, reported in the two previous tables. As the table shows, the proportion of female primary teachers has increased from 80% in 1989 to 83% in 2013, while the proportion of female secondary teachers has increased from 54% to 59% over this time.

Table 58 (primary) and Table 59 (secondary) report the number of male and female teachers in each of the states and territories, as well as changes in the number of teachers from 2012 to 2013, and since 1989. Table 58 shows that the number of both female and male primary teachers increased in most states and territories. NSW (+220) and Victoria (+202) had the largest increase in female primary teachers last year, while Victoria (+64) had the only significant increase in male primary teachers last year. For secondary teachers (Table 59), NSW (+138), Victoria (+80) and Queensland (+68) were the states/territories with the largest increase in secondary female teachers last year. Victoria (+37) and Queensland (+31) were the largest contributors to the increase in secondary male teachers in Australian Catholic schools last year.

School Funding NCEC has reported the average per-student sources of funding in the Annual Report for a number of years. However, it was not until the publication of this data for individual schools on MySchool in February 2011 (for 2009 calendar year) that the information has been able to be reported other than at the national or state levels. Financial data for the 2012 calendar year was published in early 2014 on My School. Graph 36 and Table 60 shows that the average net recurrent income per student (NRIPS) from all sources of funding for a student in an Australian Catholic school in 2012 was $11,940, which was an increase from 2011 of an average of $563 for each student in a Catholic school. Table 60 reports the average funding per student by each of the funding source categories on MySchool, and shows that funding has increased from each of the funding sources annually (other than for other private income in 2010 and 2012). However, while the amount of funding from each of the funding sources has changed, Table 61 highlights that the proportional contribution to funding from government and non-government sources has remained constant since the first year financial data was published on MySchool. Graph 36: Average net recurrent income per student (NRIPS), 2009 to 2012 Table 60: Net Recurrent Income Per Student (NRIPS), Australia, 2009 to 2012 C wealth Funding State Funding Private Income (Fees) Private Income (Other) Net Recurrent Income Per Student Annual in NRIPS 2009 $5,727 $1,981 $2,600 $604 $10,009 2010 $6,176 $2,079 $2,756 $583 $10,693 $684 2011 $6,529 $2,253 $2,949 $633 $11,377 $684 2012 $6,857 $2,340 $3,122 $603 $11,940 $563 Note: Sum of funding sources does not equal Net Recurrent Income Per Student as NRIPS excludes deductions.

Graph 37 shows the NRIPS by school type for Catholic schools nationally. Although there is significant variation in the NRIPS in the school levels, due to factors such as school size, geography, state and private income, and school activity (such as the resourcing required for trade training schools), the graph illustrates the significant resources per student required for students in special schools ($29,285) compared to other schools; as well as the differences in the average recurrent income per student between primary and secondary schooling. Graph 37: Net Recurrent Income Per Student, by type of school, 2012 $13,800 Table 62: Net Recurrent Income Per Student by school type, Australia, 2009 to 2012 Primary Schools Secondary Schools Combined Primary/Secondary Special Schools 2009 $7,982 $11,626 $12,303 $28,324 2010 $8,655 $12,438 $12,745 $41,817 2011 $9,280 $13,117 $13,538 $28,399 2012 $9,728 $13,800 $14,151 $29,285 Table 63 shows the NRIPS for Catholic schools in each of the remoteness categories. As the table shows, there is a significantly higher NRIPS for schools in remote and very remote areas than for Catholic schools in major cities and inner and outer regional Australia. While some schools in major cities have a higher NRIPS, the average income per student in remote and very remote Australia reflects the higher cost of schooling in these regions. The table highlights that this higher need is recognised in Commonwealth and state funding.

States and Territories Graph 38 highlights that the average per student cost varies across states and territories (as it does between schools), as well as the significant resourcing requirements for Catholic schools in the Northern Territory. Table 64 shows the sources of funding for each of the states and territories, and highlights the significant difference in the state funding and private (non-government) income across states and territories. This difference in state funding is highlighted further in Table 65.

Australian Catholic Schools 2013 53

As Table 65 highlights, there is significant difference in the public (Commonwealth and state) and private (fees and other private income) contributions to funding across the states and territories. On average, the Northern Territory receives the highest proportional public contribution, with 84% of funding sourced from government. By contrast, the ACT has the lowest public contribution from government funding, both in proportion (64%), and average funding per student ($7,969) (Table 64). Excluding the territories, Tasmania has the highest proportion of public funding (78%) of any state, while South Australia has the lowest proportion of public funding (66%). The significant differences in the proportion of public funding are explained by the relatively high and low proportions of state government funding, with Tasmania receiving 20% of funding from the Tasmanian government, while South Australian Catholic schools receive 14% of their funding from the SA government. It should be noted, however, that although the proportion of state government funding is highest for Tasmania, Table 64 shows that the highest average funding for state government is received from the Western Australian government ($2,918). South Australia, by contrast, receives both the lowest proportion (14%) and lowest per student funding ($1,946), although the ACT state funding is lower at $1,889. State government funding for students in South Australia is $972 less than in Western Australia, but $57 more per student than provided by the ACT government.

Table 66 shows that the Northern Territory has had the highest average increase in funding in the past year, with an increase of $2,034, or nearly 14%. Table 69 and Table 70 (when combined) show that the average total private income per student (including fees, charges and parental contribution, combined with other private income) increased in all states and territories other than the Northern Territory.

Diocesan Trends Diocesan trends record the enrolment trends relevant to the individual dioceses within each state in the context of the national report. Dioceses in NSW and ACT have been combined, as the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn is located across NSW and ACT. Totals for diocesan tables in this supplement may vary slightly to state totals reported earlier in this report due to rounding of FTE student totals for dioceses. Diocesan tables in this section include all students enrolled in congregational and in systemic schools. The following maps show the location of the dioceses.

About the Data Scope of this report Australian Catholic Schools includes the data for the two main categories of Catholic schools diocesan and congregational Catholic schools. Diocesan schools also known as systemic schools are administered by the Catholic Dioceses. Each Diocese is headed by a Bishop who, under Canon (Church) Law, has responsibility for the quality of Catholic schools in his Diocese. Bishops exercise this responsibility through their local Diocesan Catholic Schools Authority, which also provides direct administrative and educational support to the schools in the Diocese. Congregational schools also known as non-systemic or independent schools are conducted and administered by the Religious Institutes of brothers, nuns and priests or by their agents. Fifty-six non-systemic Catholic schools are included in Australian Catholic Schools 2013. This included three in the Australian Capital Territory, 44 in New South Wales, five in South Australia, two in Victoria and two in Western Australia. Recognition by Ecclesiastical Authority: This report excludes six schools self-identifying as being a Catholic school in the Commonwealth Government s national schools census but were not recognised by the ecclesiastical authority of the Diocese (Canon 803). They are St Philomena s School, Parkridge (Brisbane Archdiocese); Divine Mercy College, Yangebup (Perth Archdiocese); St Thomas Aquinas College, Tynong (Sale Diocese); Saint Mary MacKillop College, Wagga Wagga (Wagga Wagga Diocese); Saint Mary MacKillop College Albury, Jindera (Wagga Wagga Diocese); and St Dominic Savio School, Rockdale (Sydney Archdiocese). Enrolments for these schools are included as Catholic schools in ABS statistics, but are excluded from this report. Sources of data Information in this report, other than the sections relating to religious affiliation and school finances, is sourced from the Commonwealth Department of Education s annual Census of Non-Government Schools. This census of all non-government schools has been conducted by the Commonwealth government since 1985 and collects information from all non-government schools on the first Friday in August each year for the purposes of statistical collection and school funding. Information relating to school funding is sourced from ACARA s MySchool website, which reports information for every Australian school. School funding has been reported since 2011 (2009 calendar year). Information relating to the religious affiliation of students is sourced from the NCEC s annual Census of Catholic and non-catholic students in Catholic schools, first conducted in 2006.

Remoteness Categories Australian Catholic Schools reports the enrolment trends of Catholic schools by categories of remoteness to assist NCEC s efforts to better understand and support rural and regional Australia. Catholic schools are classified to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) geographical classification of Remoteness Areas, based on the 2011 ABS Census of Population and Housing. The Remoteness Areas categorise Australia into the categories of Major Cities of Australia, Inner Regional Australia, Outer Regional Australia, Remote Australia, Very Remote Australia. Information about the Remoteness Areas is available from the ABS website. Map 4 illustrates the ABS Remoteness Areas.
