The 'Gonski 2.0’ funding shake-up, which was announced by prime minister Malcolm Turnbull last week, has left the Catholic education sector fearful of rises in feed and cuts to funding.

Tuesday's budget will include a $2 billion boost in education funding, along with the $1.2 billion announced in the 2016 budget.

Funding for public schools will grow by 94 per cent, or $6.4 billion, over the decade while Catholic and private school funding will rise by 62 per cent or $6.7 billion.

Funding for 24 schools in well-off socio-economic areas will have their funding cut next year, while an additional 353 schools are also projected to be worse off after the next budget.

Catholic Education Commission of Victoria executive director Stephen Elder said the changes were “a direct attack” on Catholic parish primary schools.

“Under the government's plans, parents at these schools will be expected to pay similar fees to those charged by elite independent institutions,” he said.

“Not only is this a direct attack on parent choice, it means schools face the reality of significantly raising fees of cutting programs.

“This will hurt families of modest means most of all.”

There are 11 Catholic schools in Albury-Wodonga and the surrounding region: Xavier High, St Patrick’s Parish School, St Patricks (Holbrook), St Anne’s Primary, St Joseph’s Primary (Culcairn), Holy Spirit Primary and St Mary’s Primary, which all fall under the Catholic Schools Wagga banner.

The remaining four (Catholic College Wodonga, St Monica’s, St Augustine’s and St Francis of Assisi) form Catholic Education Wodonga.

Catholic Schools Office Wagga acting director of schools Prue Horan said a lock of consultation with the Catholic sector before the new measures were announced meant it was unclear as to exactly how their schools would be effected.

“We fully support a true needs-based funding system, however, at this stage, we haven't been provided with the detail necessary to know exactly how the new funding model will affect our system of schools,” she said.

“Our national representatives are currently seeking urgent discussions with the Government to get clarification on this.”

On a more positive note for parents, Mrs Horan said it was much too early to tell if tuition fees would increase after the budget was passed down.

“Any talk of fee increases is premature without the detail needed to work out how much federal funding our system of schools will receive under the proposed changes,” she said.
