2011 was dominated by public
discussion about potential changes
to education funding.
As you may be aware, St Michael’s
receives 15 per cent of its operating
revenue from governments. This modest
but essential component of funding
enables St Michael’s to remain a viable
school of choice for many families
throughout Melbourne. In April 2010,
the Federal Government commissioned
the Review of Funding for Schooling
under the chairmanship of Mr David
Gonski. This review received hundreds
of submissions from many interested
parties and commissioned several
consultants’ reports.
