The NSW Government will deliver more than $16.5 million in targeted funding to public schools across the Northern Beaches in 2022.

This week schools will receive their School Budget Allocation Report which includes funding allocated through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM), a needs based funding model that ensures record funding is targeted at supporting the individual needs of students.  This funding comes in addition to school infrastructure funding.

School Principals are able to directly determine how the funding allocations are spent to best support student needs. This may include employing specialist teachers or purchasing extra resources to respond to the unique requirements of their students.

Customers in the Northern Beaches will have more reasons to celebrate catching up with friends and family this summer with two additional Dine & Discover vouchers up for grabs for NSW residents.

Member for Manly, James Griffin said the expanded program will support residents across the community and encourage economic activity as part of the government’s economic recovery strategy.

“This is about supporting people to get out and have a meal or spend the day discovering their community while supporting businesses,” Mr Griffin said.

The streets of the Northern Beaches community will come alive post-lockdown, thanks to a raft of initiatives and $66 million in funding that will see alfresco dining, outdoor activations and events return.

Member for Manly, James Griffin said the local hospitality industry had borne the brunt of the recent lockdown and the NSW Government was committed to supporting them.

“After many months in lockdown, family and friends are wanting to connect with one another, and our hospitality sector is a central element of our once in a generation opportunity to reboot our tourism offering and emerge stronger than before.” Mr Griffin said.
