Independent Schools Tasmania executive director Tony Crehan said parents pay school fees in order to be able to send their child to a school of their choice, not directed to the nearest school to their home.

“In doing so they get to choose a school whose values and educational ethos match those of the family,” he said.

“They can be sure the individual needs of their child will be recognised and met by the school, in academic and vocational learning, student wellbeing and pastoral care.

“They can rely on the fact that independent schools depend on satisfied parents for their survival and must always strive for excellence to maintain enrolments.”

“Catholic schools provide for the whole person — be that academic, spiritual, social, emotional and physical, to provide a rounded education.”
