The Victorian schools with the highest-paid parents have been revealed, and those who are better off will have their funding cut this year.
Capacity-to-contribute data is a measure of the income of parents who send their children to non-government schools.
Melbourne Grammar, Lauriston Girls’ School and Scotch College top the list of private-school income data, based on the capacity-to-contribute data that is used to allocate federal funding to non-government schools. Overall, that entitles 19 per cent of the state’s non-government schools to more funding and 36 per cent to less, federal education department figures show. Close to 45 per cent will have their funding remain stable.However, the funding model is only used for certain independent schools, who are funded directly by the federal government. It does not apply to public schools, who are funded by state governments.
There is also some overlap between the schools with the highest-earning families and those that perform best in VCE, highlighting questions about equity in education. Of Victoria’s 687 non-government schools, 301 received the same capacity-to-contribute score as last year, entitling them to the same federal government funding this year.
