5. Proprietor models Single School Proprietor
Policy 1 and AD’s applied to the single school
Some % kept in reserve for ‘calamitous events’
Planned combination of Repairs and Maintenance, Modernisation, H&S, New Capital development for roll growth
Usually ‘forward funded’ through debt financing
Policy 1 can only be used for capital repayment
Debt servicing from AD’s

6. Proprietor models Multi-School Proprietor
Policy 1 and AD’s applied to the network of schools owned by the Proprietor
Some % kept in reserve for ‘calamitous events’
Planned combination of Repairs and Maintenance, Modernisation, H&S, New Capital development for roll growth
Required to ‘maintain each school at a standard comparable to the State School network’
Has discretion to apply ‘surplus’ funds (or financing) to projects that have priority across the network (Proprietor discretion, including consultation)

7. GET on with it! As the Principal
You have delegation to apply funds agreed in the Annual Budget and report outcomes to the BOT
Repairs and maintenance items (<$5,000) are the responsibility of the School, budget accordingly for cyclical maintenance and reserve or apply those funds
Maintain a dialogue with your Proprietor, understand their limitations, constraints and priorities, be disciplined to ‘rank’ or ‘prioritize’ your projects requiring their support and agree a masterplan/timeline for careful stewardship of capital resources over an extended time period.
