Funding
The Anglican Schools Commission Incorporated trading as AngliSchools (AngliSchools) is a separately incorporated entity governed by a Board.
AngliSchools relies on recurrent and capital funding from the Commonwealth and State Governments, as well as tuition fees and donations from generous benefactors to establish and operate schools in Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria.
All West Australian schools operate under one of two ASC enterprise agreements (support staff and teachers). They receive recurrent and capital funding from the Commonwealth and the Western Australian Government.
Trinity Anglican College, Albury, operates under the AngliSchools New South Wales’ Association of Independent Schools Multi Enterprise Agreement and receives recurrent and capital funding from the Commonwealth and the New South Wales Government.
Cathedral College Wangaratta, Cobram Anglican Grammar School and All Saints Anglican School operate under AngliSchools Victorian agreement. Each of the schools receive recurrent and capital funding from the Commonwealth and Victorian Government.
Distribution of Commonwealth Recurrent Funding
The Anglican Schools Commission Incorporated trading as AngliSchools (AngliSchools) is a Commonwealth Approved System Authority.
AngliSchools distributes Commonwealth recurrent funding to each of its 15 schools (aside from the language school) in accordance with the amounts calculated by the Department of Education under Section 78(4) of the Australian Education Act 2013 (the Act). This distribution is based on the Commonwealth’s allocation and includes:
- Loadings for disadvantage.
- Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) amount per student specified for each primary and secondary school.
The Commonwealth calculates individual schools’ recurrent grant funding entitlements in accordance with Section 78(5) of the Act. DESE disaggregated the transitional percentage of schools’ entitlements as they move towards their eventual entitlement of SRS from 2029. At the same time changes were made by the Commonwealth to the method of calculation of families’ ‘Capacity to Contribute’ to fees. Accordingly, AngliSchools will re-distribute a small proportion of calculated recurrent grant funding between its schools, to assist schools in the transition to funding under the new method of calculation of ‘Capacity to Contribute.’ In 2020, the redistributed figure amounts to less than 1% of the System’s aggregate base funding.
This is a transitional arrangement, introduced to ensure that no school is inordinately disadvantaged from changes to the funding model. It is proposed that all recurrent funding be distributed in accordance with Section 78(4) of the Act from 2029.

Strategic Plan
The purpose of our Strategic Plan 2025 is to provide us, through our Board, with a core direction over the coming years. Our strategic direction lives in and through our schools. While this plan is a Board document, it will inform school councils as they develop their individual school-based strategic plans.
The plan defines our core activity within five areas: growing our Anglican Identity; system sustainability and growth; being a learning community; inclusion, justice and respect; and leading through influence and advocacy.
Our Strategic Plan has been designed to assist us to focus on our vision and recommit to our core purpose as we work together to establish new schools and support existing ones.
