Recent research from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey reveals that individuals who attended Catholic schools experience lasting advantages in employment status, general health, and life satisfaction.
Key findings about Catholic school graduates success include:
• Higher employment rates and wages (4% - 11% more than government school peers)
• Greater likelihood of working in public-serving industries and donating to charity
• Improved overall health and life satisfaction
Professor Elizabeth Labone, CEO of Victorian Catholic Education Authority - VCEA, says: “This research quantifies what we’ve always known—Catholic schools prepare students for life.”
