Implement the Gonski model as the fairest way of funding schools AN elite private boys school is holding an opening next week for its new recording studio, built to allow students to extend their musical studies with "exposure to music-industry practice." The school charges parents almost $30,000 a year in fees, raising almost $35 million in 2011, and is sitting on net assets of $105m. Like most private schools, it will again raise its school fees next year by about 6 per cent.
