School will be worse off

We are appalled at the Federal Liberal Government's decision to renege on the promise to fund NSW schools for four years through the Gonski scheme.

We are the grandparents of a child with a mild disability who we have care of, and will be starting her first year at the local high school next year.

We have fought hard for her to be allocated to the appropriate class that she will be able to thrive and succeed in; this is a class that may very well lose their funding if this scheme is dropped.

Both Abbott and Pyne promised before the election that they would provide four years of funding of the Gonski Scheme.

They said "No school would be worst off under a Liberal Government".

Well our child's school will be worse off as well as all the other public schools in NSW if we go back to the failed Howard model.

Ms Wicks, it is about time that you stood up for all the students of the Robertson Electorate and stated your views on this very important issue, just not repeat the press releases issued by your Liberal party head office.
