It comes as NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli this week criticised Mr Turnbull over the Federal Government’s failure to fund the final two years of the Gonski needs-based funding model.

Principal Sarah Rudling said she was passionate about calling on the Federal Government to secure the needs-based funding model and wanted to share her success stories from her school with 25 per cent indigenous children plus a large number of children with special needs.

“It’s not just about the children that need extra support, it’s about all kids,” said Ms Rudling. “Yes we service a low socio-economic community, however, the funds we receive give us the greatest opportunity to provide the best education that we can for all children.”

Mother of two Lisa Simmons is equally passionate about the cause, seeing first hand the benefits from her own son who needed special one-on-one assistance.

“It’s shouldn’t be a football [passed] between federal and state government, it should be something we all care enough about to put the needs of our children [first].”

The original Gonski model was for six years, however Tony Abbott cut that to only four years when in power.

The Australian Education Union is pushing for the full six year model to be funded ahead of the impending federal election.
