Dear Parents,
I am pleased to advise you that our school has received our 2017 Planned School Budget Allocation Report which will assist us with the management of the total budget delivered to our school through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM).
The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) methodology distributes funding based on the individual needs of students and schools. This gives our school greater flexibility to make local decisions to meet the unique needs and circumstances... of our students.
Learn more about the 2017 funding by visiting the Department's website. Watch a short animation about the important role of the RAM in the journey to School Excellence for NSW public schools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Qhz1nykUc&feature=youtu.be
What does all this mean for Punchbowl Public School?
Our school is planning to use our 2017 funding to support students to improve educational outcomes primarily through the employment of specialist staff, the release of staff to plan and collaborate, speech and psychology services and improvements to our site. Our Annual School Report clearly outlines how we use our funding.
If you have any questions, I am very happy to help.
Ms Rose Manousaridis, Principal
