  • Senate Committee: Education and Employment
    Senate Committee: Education and Employment QUESTION ON NOTICE Supplementary Budget Estimates 2016 - 2017 Outcome: Schools and Youth Department of Education and Training Question No. SQ16-000852 Senator Collins, Jacinta provided in writing. Data and modelling - School Resourcing Standard Question How close is the amount of per-student funding provided in the 2016 school year in each state, territory, and non-government system and non-systemic school to the School Resourcing Standard? o How close will this be at the end of 2017? o At the end of 2019? Answer Funding under the Australian Education Act 2013 (the Act) is determined at the Approved Authority (AA) level where an AA represents one or more schools. The Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) is based on total public funding only (that is, Commonwealth and state or territory recurrent funding). The following table shows a theoretical estimate of the total public funding and Commonwealth funding as a projected percentage of the SRS for each approved authority in 2016 and 2017 if current arrangements under the Act and National Education Reform Agreement (NERA) were to continue. The total public funding estimate assumes that state and territory funding has been provided as envisaged by the Act and NERA, however, only three states have signed bilateral agreements that commit to providing these funds. For the current schools funding period (2014‒2017) the Australian Government agreed to pay all states on the same basis as if they had signed bilateral agreements under the NERA to be fully participating in accordance with the Act. Projected SRS percentages are presented on this basis.

It is mostly used in distance maritime communication, and was a popular mode of communication during the 19th century. The system was designed by the Chappe brothers in France during the late 18th century and was used to carry messages between French army units, including those commanded by Napoleon. Now, Semaphore flags aren’t often used other than as a way of communicating in mountains, where other forms of communication are difficult, and for communication between surf lifeguards. Publisher’s Details The Semaphore is a publication of Great Southern Grammar. Great Southern Grammar offers a first-class, independent, liberal K-12 education to the young people of the Great Southern region, and beyond, in a day and residential setting, led by committed staff, based on the principles of the Christian faith. Editors: GSG Community Relations Design and Print: Strike Point Graphic Design and Printing Photography: Karen Timmins; GSG staff and families; Lee Griffith; Krysta Guille Disclaimer: The editors compile The Semaphore from various sources. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure the information published is accurate, the editors cannot accept responsibility for inaccuracies in content or the authenticity of that information.
