            <title>2019 school budget allocations</title>
            <link>https://theponds-s.schools.nsw.gov.au/news/2018/11/2019-school-budget-allocations.html</link>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Like all NSW public schools, this week we will receive a School Budget Allocation Report with our funding for 2019. The report will help us manage our total budget delivered through the Resource Allocation Model (RAM).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The RAM supports schools through needs-based funding to ensure a fair, efficient and transparent allocation of funds. Our school has the flexibility to make local decisions based on the specific needs of our students.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will use our 2019 funding to support students and improve educational outcomes. The school executive will continue to work with the school community as we implement the school plan using this needs-based funding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Learn more about the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://education.nsw.gov.au/our-priorities/work-more-effectively/local-schools-local-decisions/resource-allocation-model"&gt;2019 RAM funding&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
