Donate to turn private boys school into private co-ed school? Or fund a co-ed public HS in Sydney’s east to cater for MORE families? Our campaign is the latter & the need is great. Let’s fund public ed choices for better outcomes! @JordsBaker @scottfarkas amp.smh.com.au/national/nsw/…
Terrific @Sydney_Grammar is “keen to speak to other community groups who are interested in using the facilities”. CLOSEast is ready to speak on behalf of all the public schools in the area - see link below! @smh_andrew @JordsBaker @AlexGreenwich

What a fabulous new video campaign from the Public Education Foundation!! @PEFOZ
Universal, compulsory, secular education provided by the tax payer for every child regardless of who their parents are is one of the greatest ideas humanity ever had. See how it changed 3 famous lives here vimeo.com/439831642 @PEFOZ

30% of all schools in AUS are religious-affiliated (94% of private schools), a disproportionately high rate relative to other OECD nations contributing to cultural conservatism and constantly exploited by LNP.
Secular state? 🤔

“Educational investment can break the cycle of economic disadvantage – that’s the wonder of education,” @DavidHeth from @PEFOZ. “But it’s got to be properly resourced.. ”
