SA private schools fear for future as pandemic fee pain bites<\/h4>\n

Written by Belinda Willis, INDaily, Adelaide Independent News<\/em><\/p>\n

Parents struggling to meet private school fees as COVID-19 restrictions bite into their savings are seeing their children being turned away from public schools already at capacity.<\/p>\n

And the state\u2019s 103 independent private schools warn some of their campuses will not survive unless the Federal Government steps up with vital support funds.<\/p>\n

Association of Independent Schools of South Australia chief executive Carolyn Grantskalns said private schools had been hit hard by the economic downturn triggered by COVID-19 rules, and a significant number of families were asking for fee relief.<\/p>\n

Many schools were being forced to stand down non-teaching staff including school nurses and boarding house staff as buildings were closed.<\/p>\n

School communities around the South East are having to come up with new and unusual ways to raise vital funds and generate community support thanks to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The state government\u2019s COVID-19 restrictions together with ongoing uncertainty about the virus have led many schools to either cancel or postpone their major fundraising events for the year, leaving them seriously short of funds for planned developments and projects.<\/p>\n

But according to Fundraising Directory founder Mandy Weidmann, although times are difficult at the moment, there are still ways to garner community spirit to raise the necessary funds despite the restrictions.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvents have been a big no-no, and fundraising product drives have been put on the backburner, so many people are doing it tough right now,\u201d Ms Weidmann said.<\/p>\n

Years from now we probably won\u2019t appreciate the drastic and dramatic changes that our institutions of higher education have had to engineer over the past six months.<\/p>\n

That is because many things will revert to business as it was. Students will return to campus as enrollments return to familiar patterns following demographics and economics. We won\u2019t fret about social distancing in libraries and dinning halls. We will forget how many people predicted that Covid-19 would close countless colleges and universities for good.<\/p>\n

Other changes will linger, becoming new normals and we will let fade how and why they came to be that way.<\/p>\n

How our strength as an international university is growing through a pandemic<\/h4>\n

Bryce Ives | Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

International education has been the backbone of the Australian economy for some time. After iron ore and coal, higher education has become our third-largest export \u2013\u00a0worth $37.6 billion<\/a>. It is a significant contributor to Australia\u2019s global connections in areas spanning cultural, business and scientific ties.<\/p>\n

But in the aftermath of a worldwide pandemic, where travel has been all but halted, Australia\u2019s higher education sector seems to be in free-fall. With borders closed, notions of global citizenship and internationalisation are now being fundamentally tested.<\/p>\n

It is predicted that with reduced international enrolments, universities will be sent into a tailspin, threatening the viability of at least half the sector<\/a>. It is also suggested that\u00a0some Australian universities may have to merge<\/a>\u00a0to survive the crisis.<\/p>\n
