GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Deputy Leader of the Opposition Education Funding In reply to the Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee A) The Hon. B.I. BOYER House of Assembly Wright Minister for Education, Training and Skills Education Funding The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): I have been advised of the following: Midyear intake into schools is a new policy position that delivers on this government's election commitment and offers parents greater choice. At the time of preparing this advice, discussions with the Australian government are continuing about their funding arrangements of reception students, noting that the Australian government has issued advice that midyear intake reception students will not be counted in the August census and will therefore not be eligible for funding. The state government is committed to delivering our election commitment to introduce a midyear intake in government schools from term 3 2024. The precise financial figure is subject to actual enrolments and policy outcomes regarding how midyear intake students are supported by the Australian government.
