Greater powers for principals and school communities in 32 WA schools | Ministers' Media Centre

Thirty-two schools in Western Australia will have greater autonomy thanks to more than $2.1million in funding from the Gillard Government. This will see the Gillard Government providing WA with more than $800,000 in grants to the participating Catholic schools and more than $700,000 in grants for independent schools. Funding will also be provided for targeted training and professional development for principals and school communities, with more than $59,000 allocated for Catholic schools and more than $52,000 for independent schools.
