  • Member School Directory Member School Directory
    Member School Directory JJJanuaryJanuary 2008 Member School Directory Introduction The Association of Independent Schools of South Australia (AISSA) represents the interests of Independent (non-Catholic) schools in South Australia. Our membership consists of 95 schools, plus seven campuses linked to a registered school. We believe passionately in Independent schooling and the right of parents to exercise choice in the selection of a school for their children. Independent schools acknowledge the importance of: > Excellence and high education standards > Social, physical, spiritual and emotional development of each student > Strong links with the broader community (local, national and international) > Provision of safe, positive and orderly learning environments > Comprehensive programs of pastoral care > Development of social responsibility and citizenship. All Independent schools are registered by the Non-Government Schools Registration Board and are required to employ registered teachers. Each school is subject to legislation and regulations such as child protection, OHS&W, anti-discrimination, building regulations, government funding compliance requirements, and industrial relations. Most schools are affiliated with a particular religion; others are secular. Several schools base their curriculum on a particular educational philosophy (e.g. Montessori, Waldorf Steiner). Ten schools have boarding facilities. The option of either single sex or co-education is available. Many schools also provide pre-school and out-of school hours care services. The source of funding for Independent schools includes the Commonwealth and State governments and parents. The level of Government funding per student varies across each Independent school. Some capital works funding is provided by the Commonwealth Government; this complements the significant funds provided by parents and others in the school community.

  • 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.

No child should be left behind in literacy. Contents Our Chairperson Our Managing Director Our Impact Our Journey Our Organisation Our Strategic Plan Our Supporters Our Finances Our Thanks Page 2 of 19 Our Chairman Dear Friends of Story Dogs, These uncertain times have impacted all of us, challenged most of us and certainly required us to dramatically alter the status quo of our lives. Meeting adversity and dealing with adversity is part of everyone‘s life journey, it is rare that we all as a community face adversity together as we are now in confronting COVID-19. COVID has interrupted lives for most and decimated and torn apart lives for others. The volunteering and philanthropy that underpins Story Dogs leaps forth from our abundance of spirit, time and financial capacity. These times question our capacity to give and trigger in most off us a defensive and self-protective approach to our life. We understand this is and accept this as the circumstances of the current time we have to live with and adjust to. The Strongest message that we as the Story Dog board wish to say to our volunteers and partners now is that: “you know your personal circumstances the best.” If you believe volunteering puts your health at risk - do not volunteer wait and volunteer when you decide the risk is behind you. If contributing funds to Story Dogs is currently beyond your means then please don’t - simply tell us that is not within your capability now.
