Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the views of the students, parents and teachers of St. Catherine's Parish School Moorabbin, Victoria, Australia pertaining to a private Catholic school as compared to state schools. A questionnaire was completed by the students, parents and staff. The views of the parents and teachers were similar, while the students' overall questionnaire mean was significantly different from that of both parents and teachers. Students in general are not satisfied with attending a private Catholic school. Parents and teachers agree that a Catholic education is better than a state school education for their students.
