The Department of Education is responsible for the delivery of public early years and school education, adult and community education, and library and archive services throughout Tasmania. The Department is responsible to the Hon Roger Jaensch MP, Minister for Education, Children and Youth.
Education services are delivered across the State through 194 government schools including early childhood intervention services, 12 child and family learning centres and 47 libraries. The number of students from pre‑kindergarten to senior secondary is 58 527 full‑time equivalent students.
The Department’s Strategic Plan 2022-2024: Learners First: connected, resilient, creative and curious thinkers focusses the Department to improve outcomes for all learners: access, participation and engagement, early learning, wellbeing and literacy and numeracy.
Achievement of these goals is underpinned by an improvement agenda that is centred on:
· embedding quality teaching for learning through a focus on what we teach, how we teach and how we assess student learning to ensure a year’s growth for every learner;
· aligning and refining practices to further support the wellbeing of children and young people to allow them to fully engage in learning;
· implementing an explicit Approach to School Improvement to ensure student learning through and for growth; and
· improving education infrastructure.
In 2022‑23, guided by the Strategic Plan, the Department will continue its focus on building a high quality, equitable education system that supports the engagement of all learners and strengthens the safeguarding of the rights of all children and young people to have an education, to be heard and to be kept safe from harm. During 2022‑23, the new Department of Education, Children and Young People will begin operations, bringing together the functions from the Department of Education, and Child, Youth and Family Services from the Department of Communities Tasmania.
A critical priority for the Department will be ongoing implementation of the 20 recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into the Tasmanian Department of Education’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which will provide additional safeguards to protect children and young people in Tasmanian government schools. Implementation of these recommendations will build on current child and student wellbeing initiatives.
The Department will continue to invest in contemporary, reliable and secure systems that support learners. The Student Systems Renewal initiative will integrate essential information on students, providing schools and parents with tools to improve student learning, wellbeing and engagement. Funding in 2022‑23 and across the Forward Estimates will enable replacement and/or modernisation of school administration systems.
The Department’s early learning environments including: schools; Early Childhood Intervention Services; Child and Family Learning Centres; and Libraries Tasmania all support families with young children to play, learn and grow together.
In pursuit of its goal of early learning, the Department provides children from birth to eight years with early learning through:
· supporting families with children from birth to five years to engage with learning through Launching into Learning (for children pre‑Kindergarten); Learning in Families Together (for children Kindergarten to Year Two); Baby Play (pre‑crawling babies); Rock and Rhyme (crawlers and toddlers); Storytime (pre‑schoolers); and CFLCs;
· delivering the Working Together initiative with the Early Childhood Education and Care Sector to provide free early learning and wrap around care to support families to access and engage in quality learning;
· providing evidence‑based phonics instruction from Prep to Year 2;
· providing differentiated professional learning that embeds effective pedagogies for the early years;
· connecting people across the Tasmanian community who are committed to supporting families with young children through the B4 Early Years Coalition; and
· regulating and quality assurance of ECEC services and working in partnership with the sector to support children and families.
Investment in early learning in 2022‑23 will continue to support:
· increased resourcing for CFLCs, which will increase Centre Assistant availability, by more than double on average to be able to provide even more support for local families;
· construction of six new CFLCs including East Tamar and Waratah‑Wynyard in 2022‑23;
· access to Speech Pathologists, Psychologists and Social Workers in CFLCs; and
· free pre‑school for three year old children with the greatest need, delivered in partnership with ECEC services.
For more information on the Early Years visit the It’s a Great Start website at www.greatstart.tas.gov.au.
The Department continues to focus on all schools improving learning outcomes by implementing the Approach to School Improvement, whereby each school identifies evidence‑based priorities and related actions that are supported by the Department through the provision of advice, at the shoulder support, professional learning and materials.
Principals have a critical role in leading school improvement and student outcomes. The Principal Capability and Performance initiative will introduce new approaches to support the ongoing growth and continuous improvement of principals.
In addition, a number of system‑wide priority actions are
underway, focused on achievement of the Strategic Plan’s four system goals,
including:
· improving participation and engagement of school age learners through: ongoing implementation of flexible learning options to support the engagement and re‑engagement of students who find it difficult to learn in mainstream environments; and ongoing implementation of the needs based model for funding students with a disability ‘Educational Adjustments’ which commenced in 2020;
· improving learning outcomes for children and young people by focussing on their wellbeing through: the implementation of the Child and Student Wellbeing Strategy and the Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey; the provision of additional school nurses in primary, secondary, and district schools and colleges; the provision of additional student support services (psychologists, social workers and speech pathologists) in CFLCs across the State; and providing targeted support to children and young people affected by trauma and family violence and those identified as at risk by child safety services.
Investment in 2022‑23 in school education will: build on funding for vulnerable students including targeted support to students and young people affected by trauma and behavioural challenges; support the second phase for improved case management system functionality for vulnerable students; and continue ongoing investment in school infrastructure that supports learning.
The Department delivers senior secondary education in eight colleges and 57 High Schools (Years 7‑12).
The Department is focussed on improving access to, and participation and engagement in, quality senior secondary pathways for young people with diverse learning needs, starting points and interests, including through:
· establishment of the Office of the Director of the Registered Training Organisation to move to a better practice governance model. The Office of the RTO will support access participation and engagement for learners in vocational pathways to enable them to develop the skills needed to successfully participate in learning, life and work;
· providing quality delivery of VET qualifications through Trade Training Centres and Trade Skills Centres, with an increasing focus on matching qualifications to industry needs;
· increasing access to apprenticeships and traineeships for school‑aged learners to connect school and employment through learning pathways;
· delivering the Years 9 to 12 Project to enable all students to achieve their potential through Years 9 to 12 and beyond in further study, training and employment. The Project is a joint initiative of the Department of Education, Catholic Education Tasmania, Independent Schools Tasmania, TasTAFE, the University of Tasmania, Skills Tasmania and the Office of Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification;
· developing highly‑personalised vocational learning and VET opportunities as part of the Vision for Vocational Learning and VET in Tasmanian Schools to 2030; and
· undertaking curriculum renewal to improve rates of attendance, retention, attainment and completion.
Investment in 2022‑23 will continue to support access, participation and engagement through: further development of innovative partnerships between urban and rural schools and colleges to provide young people with the best opportunities to be job ready; providing increasingly differentiated education supports including packages of learning that have a practical, industry‑focused lens; and supporting the ‘Back on Track’ program which aims to reconnect with young people identified as being disengaged from learning, understanding their barriers to learning and assisting them to re‑engage in education or training.
By reshaping upper secondary learning through on‑going investments in Years 9‑12, more students will be engaged in a contemporary, personalised program of learning unique to their aspirations.
Improving literacy across all age groups, including adults is a Tasmanian Government priority action. Improving adult literacy and numeracy levels will make a difference to individual lives and deliver improved social and economic outcomes, helping people feel more connected and engaged and better able to take advantage of opportunities in the workplace. The literacy levels of parents also directly impacts on the educational aspirations and attainment of children.
Libraries Tasmania is a statewide network that gives people in Tasmania access to library services, research and information, adult literacy support, numeracy and digital literacy support, community learning, online access, and archival and heritage services.
Libraries Tasmania supports adults to re‑engage in learning throughout life through: its adult literacy service and lifelong learning information service, which helps people find learning opportunities in their communities; and the 26TEN network of organisations and individuals that work together to improve adult literacy and numeracy.
Adult learners are also supported by Trade Training Centres, where they are able to access quality VET opportunities to meet local industry needs, in partnership with the community.
Investment in 2022‑23 will continue to support Libraries Tasmania to service a growing population, expand the library and archive collections, and provide more contemporary library and learning experiences.

Notes:
1. This is additional funding for an existing project in the Department’s Capital Investment Program.
2. This is a new initiative funded from within the Department’s existing resources.
Funding is allocated to implement a range of facilities related initiatives to support COVID‑19 safety in both government and non‑government schools. This includes measures to improve ventilation in schools, including the installation of air purifiers and air conditioning units, and minor repairs to windows.
Funding is allocated to continue the Government’s 2018 election commitment, supporting Libraries Tasmania to service a growing population, purchase contemporary library resources, expand the library and archive collections, and provide more contemporary library and learning experiences.
Funding is allocated over four years for this initiative to upgrade ageing electrical switchboard infrastructure within schools.
This initiative provides for the upgrade and reopening of the Glen Dhu pool. Additional funding of $1.95 million over two years has been allocated, taking total funding to $3.5 million.
Additional ongoing funding is provided to the Department to meet the estimated cost of State Government grants to the non-government school sector under Quality Schools, Quality Outcomes, as part of the National School Reform Agreement. The estimated grants are based on Australian Government projections of enrolments for Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary Catholic and Independent schools.
Funding is allocated to establish the Office of the Director of the Registered Training Organisation to move to a best practice governance model. The Office of the RTO will support access participation and engagement for learners in vocational pathways to enable them to develop skills to successfully participate in learning, life and work.
Funding is allocated in 2022‑23 to implement a range of Outdoor Learning initiatives to assist in responding to the COVID‑19 pandemic following the re‑opening of the State’s borders in December 2021. The program will enhance outdoor learning spaces to assist schools to provide rich outdoor learning experiences.
Through the Principal Capability and Performance initiative, the Department is providing ongoing funding for new approaches to attract the right principals with the right capabilities for Tasmanian Government schools, support the individual growth of all principals, and strengthen the impact of principals in their school and on their learners. This initiative delivers on the outcomes of the Principal Classification Review undertaken in 2021.
Learning from home throughout the COVID‑19 pandemic highlighted the need to be flexible and to ensure Tasmanian students have the necessary tools and technology available to allow access to remote learning. Funding is committed to bolster the pool of devices, including laptops, tablets and internet dongles for use by students in Tasmanian Government schools.
This investment will also be used to support whole of family connectivity, inclusion and digital literacy more broadly, leveraging the power of technology to support continuous and lifelong learning. Ensuring all students have access to this technology will ensure they have the opportunity to develop the skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential.
A critical priority for the Department is to address risks to the safety of children and young people through implementation of key recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into the Department of Education’s Responses to Child Sexual Abuse to ensure additional critical safeguards are in place for children and young people. The implementation of all 20 recommendations from the Department’s Inquiry Report are a critical priority in 2022 and 2023. This resourcing focuses on the response to three key recommendations to deliver additional safeguards to protect children and young people from child sexual abuse:
· Recommendation 7 ‑ that every government school principal be required to appoint a school staff person as the Student Safeguarding Officer;
· Recommendation 9 ‑ that information about understanding, preventing, identifying and responding to sexual abuse be included in inductions and in annual training, for all principals, teachers and teacher aides; and
· Recommendation 10 ‑ that the Department develop instructions, guidelines and training for teachers and student support staff for the purposes of responding to, reporting and recording concerns about staff and student behaviour that may be relevant to preventing sexual abuse, but that fall below the threshold required by the Department’s Mandatory Reporting Procedures.
Funding is allocated to the following initiatives to create the system‑wide change to practice and culture that is critical to ensure that all children and young people are safe from the harm of sexual abuse and to successfully implement recommendations from the Inquiry:
· appoint School Safeguarding Officers in every government school as part of a Support and Wellbeing Team lead role to plan and implement school strategies to support the wellbeing of all students, including risk management strategies to protect them from the harm of sexual abuse;
· mandatory professional development for all Departmental staff in understanding, preventing and responding to child sexual abuse in schools, and professional development for School Safeguarding Officers, thereby building a culture of putting the child and their safety at the centre of all decisions;
· support a change in the Department practices and culture to provide more support for children and young people affected by harmful sexual behaviours, including four FTE additional Senior Support Staff with specialist expertise and a professional learning package delivered to all Professional Support Staff; and
· engagement of additional professional support staff for schools (eight psychologists and eight social workers), to support student wellbeing and safety.
Funding is allocated to the Teacher’s Registration Board to engage up to three additional full‑time‑equivalent staff to support the investigation of complaints and disciplinary processes.
This initiative builds on funding allocated for a case management platform and extends the systems program of work that intends to replace, consolidate and/or modernise the Department’s remaining ageing student and school administration systems and improve the integration of its core business systems.
The overarching initiative seeks to: drive better collaboration, better understand our learners, make smarter insight‑driven decisions, and improve the way the Department manages and interprets information.
In addition to the key deliverables identified above, ongoing key deliverables for the Department include:
This initiative will deliver senior secondary assessments and exams in the same way senior secondary students undertake their studies, using technology and online platforms.
There is increasing momentum to move away from paper‑based assessments and this investment will start building and licensing a secure, reliable, fit‑for‑purpose online assessment platform that seamlessly connects to existing student management systems.
Trauma can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to learn. In 2020, the Model of Support for Students Impacted by Trauma was developed. Under this initiative, 66 schools have received targeted funding to build their capacity to support students impacted by trauma, which includes a component to support individual students.
The importance of building on this initiative has been accentuated through the COVID‑19 pandemic and through the Government’s 2021 election commitment for Supporting Students Impacted by Trauma, with 659 students supported from between 2020 and 2022.
Outputs of the Department are provided under the following Output Groups:
· Output Group 1 ‑ Education;
· Output Group 2 ‑ Libraries Tasmania;
· Output Group 3 ‑ Education Regulation; and
· Output Group 89 ‑ Public Building Maintenance Program.

Notes:
1. The increase in In School Education reflects: growth in State and Australian Government funding under the National School Reform Agreement, including supporting the Safeguarding Children and Young People, Student Systems Renewal ‑ Phase Two, and Principal Capability and Performance initiatives; funding provided for 2021‑22 Budget initiatives; and funding for Additional Education Measures to Keep Tasmanians Safe.
2. The increase in Early Learning in 2022‑23 reflects the timing of funding for the Working Together initiative and operating resources allocated for the Six New Child and Family Learning Centres.
3. The variation in Education Regulation reflects the profile of funding transferred from Output 1.1 - In School Education to implement reforms to education regulation, and additional funding for Safeguarding Children and Young People - Teacher’s Registration Board.
4. The variation in Public Building Maintenance Program reflects the timing and completion of funding allocated to the Department for school maintenance projects.
5. The increase in Grants and Subsidies reflects additional Australian Government funding for Quality Schools, Quality Outcomes and increases in State funding under the National School Reform Agreement for Non‑government schools, Australian Government funded grants, State funded capital assistance and State funded general education grants.
6. Capital Investment Program reflects expenditure for Outdoor learning Areas and Electrical Switchboard Maintenance that is not reflected as Purchases of non-financial assets.
The services provided under this Output focus on the delivery of education to students in schools enrolled in classes from Kindergarten to Year 12. The purpose of this Output is to provide a range of educational services that will inspire and support all learners to succeed as connected, resilient, creative and curious thinkers. The services provided under this Output are crucial to ensure that Tasmania’s young people obtain the knowledge, skills, behaviour and dispositions necessary to continue their education and training, become job‑ready and lead happy and fulfilling lives.
This Output has three focus areas. The first, through the Education and Care Unit, is for approving and regulating education and care services (long day care, outside school hours care and family day care) under national legislation. It is also responsible for the licensing and monitoring of all other childcare services under the Child Care Act 2001. Grant funds are provided to eligible service providers as a contribution towards operating expenses and capital upgrades through the Education and Care Grants Program. The second focus of this Output relates to services delivered through Child and Family Learning Centres. The third focus area of this Output is the Working Together initiative with the Early Childhood Education and Care Sector to support free pre‑school for children who are the most disadvantaged or vulnerable.

Notes:
1. Targets for 2022‑23 are informed by several considerations for future years:
- The Department is undertaking a comprehensive review of all performance measures, with the aim to better reflect performance against the Department’s Strategic Plan 2022‑2024: Learners First: connected, resilient, creative and curious thinkers. As such, reporting of some performance measures may change in the future.
- Assessment sources for some measures have been adjusted in recent years (such as the Early Years, where measures were previously based on the BASE assessment).
- Some targets for 2022‑23 have been set taking into account the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic (e.g. based off 2020‑21 Actuals), and with uncertainty about the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medium to long‑term outcomes.
2. Early Learning performance measures are based on calendar years. The 2020‑21 Actual values are based on assessments at the end of 2020.
- Kindergarten
Development Check during 2020 was affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic, with
no preliminary mid‑year assessment undertaken. From 2021, changes to the
assessment, requiring further information about selected developmental markers,
may affect reporting comparability in future years.
- Prep literacy and numeracy assessments were based on a revised instrument in 2020, compared to previous years, which required definition of an expected standard score for that instrument. From 2021, a new assessment instrument has been used, which will provide a revised measure and targets in the coming years.
3. The Department is responsive to the emergent issues within the education and care sector, in accordance with the principles of best practice regulation. The number of visits represents some of the Department's interactions with services to promote and improve the quality of education and care. However, as mitigating the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic was a primary issue between April to September 2020 and November 2021 to March 2022, visits to services were minimised and resources diverted and where appropriate, conducted virtually. The target for 2022‑23 differs from 2021‑22 because of the introduction of a revised approach to regulating. A more proactive approach in monitoring the quality and compliance will increase visit numbers. As a result, specific assessment and rating visits that focus on quality only will reduce.
4. Visits to services for quality assessment are prioritised using a risk‑based approach. Services with higher risk require reassessment more frequently. Services are assessed using the seven Quality Areas, 15 standards and 40 elements of the National Quality Standard. The impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic will be evident in the differences between target and actual visits for 2021‑22. Virtual visits are still incorporated as a component of the assessment and rating process (the face‑to‑face visits remaining, but shorter in duration). Multiple visits to a service for the purpose of quality assessment are counted as one visit to ensure data continues to be comparable over time.
5. The number of visits to approved or licensed services has a compliance focus and is separate to service quality assessment visits. Due to the COVID‑19 pandemic, visits to services were lowest between April to September 2020 and November 2021 to March 2022. Education and Care Unit resources were reallocated to actively respond to emerging issues in the sector, particularly to assist with COVID‑19 pandemic related enquiries and management. Virtual visits enabled the strong connections with services to be maintained ‑ these visits are included in the data. The target for 2022‑23 reflects an intention to rebalance workload.
6. Literacy and Numeracy performance measures are based on national minimum standards; national proficient standards are being developed for consideration by the Education Council and are expected to be available in coming years. The 2020‑21 Actual values are based on assessments in May 2021.
- Literacy and Numeracy measures based on National Assessment Program ‑ Literacy and Numeracy include students from government and non‑government schools.
- As NAPLAN 2020 was not administered nationally in May 2020, actual values for 2019‑20 are not available.
- From 2023, NAPLAN will be administered earlier within the school year. This is expected to result in marginally lower performance, relative to previous years.
7. The 2020‑21 Actual for these measures were not available and therefore not published in the 2021‑22 Budget.
8. Aboriginal students education outcome gap is measured across Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 reading and numeracy: a lower figure represents a better result in closing the gap.
9. The Year 7‑10 government school attendance level is based on a nationally reported measure of the proportion of government school students attending 90 per cent or more of the Semester 1 period. The 2020‑21 value is actual for Semester 1 2021.
- Attendance during 2020 was affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic and learning from home practices during parts of 2020. Consequently, attendance data for 2019‑20 excludes Term 1 Week 7 to Term 2 Week 6 inclusive.
10. Retention 2020‑21 Actual values are based on Year 12 numbers as at mid‑2021.
- Direct retention is based on tracking individual students from the mid‑year census of Year 10 in government schools, to the mid‑year census of Year 12 in government schools.
- Apparent retention rates for Years 10‑12 measure the number of Year 12 students in government schools divided by the number of Year 10 students in government schools two years prior, without tracking individual students. Figures relate to full‑time government school students at both year levels.
- The Australian Bureau of Statistics notes that care should be exercised in the interpretation of apparent retention rates as the method of calculation does not take into account a range of factors, such as movement between the government and non‑government sector and interstate/international migration.
11. Attainment measures are based on calendar years: 2020‑21 Actual values are based on attainment at the end of 2021.
- Attainment measures include students across education sectors who have attained one or more units of credit in Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification accredited courses, and TASC recognised or nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training.
- Credit points and VET measures are based on numbers of Year 12/13 students in the given year, for studies undertaken in that year or prior. These measures may count students in multiple calendar years, based on participation across the 15‑19 year old age range. Completion of 120 credit points or more, by the end of that calendar year, represents two years of full‑time study.
- Attainment percentages are an important way to monitor the level of qualifications that young people are achieving. There are many qualifications and certificates that young people can pursue and achieve depending on their interests and planned future pathway. Observations on attainment should also consider achievement of the Qualifications Certificate (issued at the end of senior secondary studies) and VET attainment (particularly Certificate III and above).
This Output provides for the lifelong learning of all Tasmanians through the delivery of information, education and training, literacy support and other community services through the Libraries Tasmania network, and focuses on the provision of Tasmanian Information Services.
This Output also includes the management of Tasmania’s Archival and Heritage Collection.

Notes:
1. The 2020‑21 Actual was impacted by an increase in physical items loans as library users returned to physical sites gradually following closure to the public from 25 March 2020 to 18 June 2020 due to the COVID‑19 pandemic. The 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 targets reflect an anticipated further increase in physical item loans due to decreasing physical library restrictions.
2. The 2019‑20 and 2020‑21 Actuals were impacted by the closure to the public of physical library sites and ongoing physical restrictions due to the COVID‑19 pandemic, which led to an increase in online visits. The 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 targets reflect an anticipated return to more usual online visit levels as physical restrictions are reduced and more people access in‑person services.
3. The 2020‑21 Actual was impacted by ongoing physical restrictions in libraries which led to reduced program attendance. The 2021‑21 and 2022‑23 targets reflect the anticipated impact of reduced physical restrictions in libraries, leading to increased program attendance.
4. The 2020‑21 Actual includes feedback from individuals using library services beyond targeted learning activity aimed at building digital skills. The 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 targets reflect an anticipated increase in this result due to better targeting of the survey to people who participated in genuine digital skills learning activities.
This Output provides for the operation of the independent regulatory authorities for education including: the Teacher’s Registration Board; Office of Tasmanian Assessment Standards and Certification; the Office of the Education Registrar; and the Non‑Government Schools Registration Board. These authorities regulate and drive quality in the Tasmanian education system across all sectors including: government; Catholic; independent school sectors; some parts of the Vocational Education and Training sector; and Home Education.
The regulators impact: the quality of teaching that learners experience; how student learning is assessed and recognised; the quality and safety of learning environments; and the extent to which students are participating and engaged in learning pathways.
Performance measures will be developed for this new Output and reported in future publications.
Table 3.5 provides financial information for the Department’s Capital Investment Program. More information on the Capital Investment Program is provided in chapter 6 of The Budget Budget Paper No 1.

Notes:
1. Further information on this project is included in the Key Deliverables section of this chapter.
2. This project includes funding beyond the Forward Estimates.
Agricultural facilities at Bothwell and Campbell Town District Schools will be upgraded and consolidated to enable these schools to increase and expand their agricultural VET programs.
This project will provide Cambridge Primary School with additional contemporary learning environments, associated support spaces and amenities for a gymnasium, and traffic and car parking improvements.
This initiative provides for a co‑ordinated statewide program to renew and upgrade outdated classrooms, with a focus on schools in low socio‑economic areas. Contemporary learning spaces are larger and have much greater functionality and flexibility.
Schools included in the upgrade of contemporary learning spaces include: South George Town Primary School; East Derwent Primary School; Dodges Ferry Primary School; Mowbray Heights Primary School; Lilydale District School; Glen Dhu Primary School; Ringarooma Primary School; Port Dalrymple School; Risdon Vale Primary School; Campbell Town District School; Havenview Primary School; and Rosetta Primary School. Funding of $10 million is allocated over five years.
Funding of $8 million has been allocated to a new multi‑sports facility to be built at Bayview Secondary College, Rokeby on the Eastern Shore of Hobart. The investment is dependent upon obtaining agreement for matched funding from Local Government and the Australian Government.
Remaining funding is allocated to 2022‑23 to finalise the Education Act reforms, to support improvements to early learning infrastructure.
This project will provide Exeter High School with contemporary learning spaces, associated support spaces and amenities, and specialist facilities such as kitchens, library and arts facilities.
This commitment allocates funding for facilities at the Hobart City High School’s Ogilvie and New Town campuses, which commenced co‑educational delivery for the 2022 school year.
Funding of $1.6 million was allocated for immediate requirements such as new bathroom amenities and learning area upgrades, with $20 million allocated towards further priority infrastructure requirements identified through the Hobart City High School masterplan, which was released for public comment in March 2022. This investment will provide for future growth and ensure that students can enjoy new state of the art facilities.
Significant capital works will be undertaken at Lauderdale Primary School, including the provision of additional contemporary learning spaces, associated support spaces and amenities, and the redevelopment of outdoor play areas.
This project continues a $24 million investment to build a new primary school in Legana.
Montello Primary School will be redeveloped to provide students with contemporary learning environments, associated support spaces and amenities.
This project provides for the upgrade of the Mt Nelson school oval.
This project continues a $50 million investment to build a new Years 7‑12 High School at Brighton.
This project continues the $20 million redevelopment of Penguin District School to a Kindergarten to Year 12 school. This project will consolidate the current two campuses on a single site.
This project continues a $25.8 million investment in the Sorell School to consolidate the school and create state of the art Kindergarten to Year 12 learning facilities. This includes $22 million for the redevelopment of the school and $3.8 million funded in previous Budgets to provide contemporary learning areas at the school.
Funding is allocated to deliver a new Renewable Energy Schools program that will roll out solar panels in over 100 government schools. The first works are to commence in the first half of 2022, with the scheme to roll‑out over a four year period. Savings in energy bills will be used to make the program self‑sustaining, through re‑investment back into the Renewable Energy Schools Fund.
This project continues a $20 million investment to revitalise Cosgrove High School, creating a contemporary school providing education to Year 12.
Funding of $28 million was committed for the construction of six new Child and Family Learning Centres.
The new centres will be located in the Sorell, Kingborough, Glenorchy, East Tamar, West Ulverstone and Waratah‑Wynyard communities, and will provide a one‑stop shop for services to families with young children. Services at the Child and Family Learning Centres will include health, support and outreach. Additional recurrent resources are also provided to ensure that the new centres are appropriately resourced.
This project continues a $1.5 million extension to the multi‑purpose hall and support services at Springfield Gardens Primary School.
Funding of $15.5 million is allocated to construct a brand‑new purpose‑built North West Support School on a new site to support students across the region. The new support school will meet current needs at an improved location to ensure mobility access for students, including a hydrotherapy pool.
An additional $2.9 million is allocated to fund remaining works required at the Southern Support School, and $1.6 million is provided for upgrades at the North West support school, Burnie campus.
This program of works provides for anti‑bullying measures, with the upgrade of toilets at 42 High Schools and District School sites improving the safety of student bathrooms.
This project will upgrade drainage at the Woodbridge District School oval.
This initiative supports the Government’s Extension Schools
rollout with all Tasmanian High Schools now offering Years 11 and 12
education options. Funding of $1.5 million is provided in the 2022‑23 Budget
to complete the project.

Notes:
1. The increase in Appropriation revenue ‑ operating reflects: growth in State and Australian Government funding under the National School Reform Agreement, including supporting the Safeguarding Children and Young People, Student Systems Renewal ‑ Phase Two, and Principal Capability and Performance initiatives; and funding provided for 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 Budget initiatives including for Additional Education Measures to Keep Tasmanians Safe.
2. The decrease in Grants in 2022‑23 reflects the profile of Public Building Maintenance Program funding for school maintenance projects. The variation in 2022-23 and 2023‑24 reflects the profile of Australian Government National Partnership Payments.
3. The increase in Employee benefits reflects: growth in State and Australian Government funding under the National School Reform Agreement, including supporting the Safeguarding Children and Young People, and Principal Capability and Performance initiatives; Safeguarding Children and Young People - Teacher’s Registration Board and expenditure associated with 2021‑22 Budget initiatives.
4. The increase in Supplies and consumables in 2022‑23 primarily reflects expenditure for Additional Education Measures to Keep Tasmanians Safe and Outdoor Learning Areas.
5. The variation in Grants and subsidies includes the impact of expenditure for the Working Together initiative and continuation of 2021-22 Budget initiatives, including Beacon Foundation and 24 Carrot Gardens Project.
6. The decrease in Borrowing costs reflects the accounting treatment for leases in accordance with AASB 16 Leases.
Note:
1. The increase in Appropriation revenue ‑ operating and Grants and subsidies reflects additional funding for, and payment of, grants to non‑government schools, including Australian Government funded grants, State funded capital assistance, and State funded general education grants under the National School Reform Agreement.

Notes:
1. The increase in In School Education reflects: growth in State and Australian Government funding under the National School Reform Agreement, including supporting the Safeguarding Children and Young People, Student Systems Renewal ‑ Phase Two, and Principal Capability and Performance initiatives; and funding provided for 2021‑22 and 2022‑23 Budget initiatives including for Additional Education Measures to Keep Tasmanians Safe.
2. The increase in Early Learning reflects the timing of funding for the Working Together initiative and operating resources allocated for the Six New Child and Family Learning Centres.
3. The increase in Libraries Tasmania reflects additional funding for the Continuation of Contemporary Library Resources.
4. The variation in Education Regulation reflects the profile of funding transferred from Output 1.1 In School Education to implement reforms to education regulation, and additional funding for Safeguarding Children and Young People - Teacher’s Registration Board.
5. The increase in Grants and Subsidies reflects additional funding for grants to non‑government schools, including Australian Government funded grants, State funded capital assistance, and State funded general education grants under the National School Reform Agreement.

Notes:
1. The increase in Cash and deposits, and Interest bearing liabilities in 2023 reflects revised estimates based on 30 June 2021 actuals.
2. The variation in Other financial assets, Inventories and Other assets in 2023 reflects a reallocation between asset types to better reflect 30 June 2021 actuals.
3. The variation in Assets held for sale reflects an updated estimate based on an analysis of the timing of property sales.
4. The increase in Property, plant and equipment reflects further capital investment in schools and the estimated indexation of the asset value base less depreciation.
5. The increase in Infrastructure reflects the combination of new Infrastructure assets identified during the asset revaluation process and reclassification of existing Property, plant and equipment assets to Infrastructure.
6. The variation in Intangibles across the Forward Estimates reflects the estimated timing of the amortisation of intangibles relating to systems development.
