  Parramatta Eels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parramatta saw very little success in the early years, rarely avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon, facing the ignominity of finishing last in the competition 6 years in a row between 1956 and 1961.
Parramatta's ability to score was shown spectacularly with the team having scored a remarkable 619 points in their 21 victories.
Parramatta were temporarily halted in their march to a 3rd straight Premiership after being defeated by Manly-Warringah in the Semi Final, however the Eels came back into form in the Preliminary Final defeating Canterbury to qualify for yet another Grand Final against the Sea-Eagles.

The per capita private school funding model that this bill seeks to reform is specified in section 21 of the Education Act and is known as the 25 per cent rule.
Given the inequity in funding of private schools at the expense of public education, parents, teachers and supporters of public education are demanding with growing vehemence that private education be subjected to at least the same accountability standards as apply to public education.
