Under the Turnbull government's plan, the schools will, on average, be $7.1 million better off. Gorokan High School will be $9.4 million better off; Wyong High School will be $7 million better off; Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School at Shelly Beach will be $9.3 million better off; and St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School, with 300 students, will be $6.5 million better off. The Catholic schools system will be better off under the Turnbull government's plan, to the tune of $3.4 billion over the next 10 years. That is why it has been welcomed across the board, together with independent and government schools. Right across the country, over 9,000 schools will be better off—an additional $18.6 billion and a 75 per cent increase. The Leader of the Opposition, who has always called for a needs-based funding model, is now turning his back on the students of Australia.
