  • School Fees Report 2019 Introduction
    School Fees Report 2019 Introduction With one in three Australian families sending their child to a non- Government school, private school fees are a huge investment for parents. Edstart’s School Fees Report helps you understand the trends in private school fees across the country. This year’s report analysed fees from over 300 schools, covering tuition, compulsory additional fees and boarding fees. Overall Trends Private school fees across Australia have risen by an average of 3.1% in 2019, which is slightly down from 3.2% last year. While almost 9% of schools reduced their fees or had no fee change, we found that over 84% of schools increased their fees by more than the current inflation rate of 1.8%*. Fee inflation also continued to outpace the average wage growth rate of 2.2%. While there was a small drop in school fee inflation this year, state-based fee analysis showed significant geographic variances. NSW and Victoria continued to lead the way with the highest average school fees and smallest percentage of schools where fees remained the same or were reduced. Western Australia saw the highest percentage of schools that did not raise their fees in 2019 and the lowest average increase in fees at merely 1.58%. On the other hand, ACT showed the highest fee increase of 5.07%. These statewide trends are caused by some of the key themes that are explained further below. A Tale of Three Parts While overall school fee trends were consistent with prior years, 2019 has generated the largest variety of school fee changes in many years.

PLATINUM SPONSOR GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR Welcome from the Principal It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Lourdes Hill College for the 2019 Learning Analytics Symposium. As teaching professionals, our challenge into the future will be to engage with and harness the abundance of student data that emerging technologies continue to provide. The science of learning analytics will, we believe, deepen our capacity to improve curriculum design and in turn create teaching strategies which will be personalized to individual student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. Please enjoy your time with us and we wish you well for a successful 2019 and beyond. Robyn Anderson Principal, Lourdes Hill College Welcome from the Symposium Conveners It is with excitement that we welcome you to the inaugural CiTEL Learning Analytics Symposium – CLAS19. We are all part of a significant event that will be breaking new ground in the field of Learning Analytics in education. At the secondary sector level, the application of Learning Analytics to inform student learning is in its relative infancy and there is limited published research and sharing of practice around the use of data and learning analytics in the sector.
