I would like to say thank you to the constituents of my electorate who came to my office yesterday in Sutherland to talk about the Gonski school funding. I am very pleased to quote to them from David Gonski himself, when he said of the coalition's funding increases:

… I'm very pleased to hear that the Turnbull Government has accepted the fundamental recommendations of our 2011 report.

… and I'm very pleased that there is substantial additional money, even over indexation and in the foreseeable future.

I would like to quickly go through a few of the schools in my electorate, and I am sure those advocates at my office yesterday would like to inform these schools of how much more funding they will get next year compared to last year. I have a long list.

Overall, it is $4,164,800 in my electorate. Next year, Yarrawarrah Public School will receive an additional $31,600; Engadine Public School, an additional $37,600; Engadine West Public School, an additional $85,800; Holy Family Catholic Primary, an additional $190,700; Holsworthy Public School, an additional $75,300; Loftus Public School, an additional $47,200; Kirrawee High School, an additional $175,100; Engadine High School, an additional $143,300—and the list goes on and on.
