Tuition Fees
$46,044 against budget, primarily due bad debts coming in lower than estimated. •
Parish Giving
On behalf of the school, I would like to thank the Parish for their generous financial support throughout the year with donations totalling $13,250. •
Teaching Salaries
This core expense came in $76,288 over the amount budgeted, however was offset by an increase in ‘other income’ from CESA and Government for Long Service Leave. •
IT Expenses
Spending on IT was $19,072 lower than anticipated, primarily due to lower software license costs, but also due to unavailability of relevant items. •
Levies – CEO
Levies came in $35,044 higher than anticipated, however the educational levy increase was offset/reimbursed via a grant, hence no impact.
