  1. And who is going to fund compulsory sports? The Federal Government? Don’t think so! As a primary school classroom teacher I am already supplementing the provision of sporting equipment for school sports at school and district level at several hundred dollars a year now. As for swimming lessons, most schools that I have worked at provide these opportunities for students but some parents are not financially prepared or able to fund this, even at the discounted rates offered. I agree with the minister but schools need to be better funded to support these ideas.
