16. The Rev Canon Jim Ramsay asked -

        What is the Diocesan policy regarding graduates of Moore College being required to refund their tuition fees if they are employed by a Diocese other than Sydney Diocese at the conclusion of their studies?

        To which the President replied -

        I am advised the answers are as follows -

        The Standing Committee has set a policy administered by the Ordination Training Fund Committee whereby Sydney candidates who receive the bursary are expected to render service in the Sydney Diocese after ordination for one year less than the number of years of bursary received. If a Sydney candidate accepts an appointment to a diocese other than Sydney the Ordination Training Fund Committee will ask the diocese which is receiving the benefit of the trained clergyman to pay the amount of bursary calculated on this basis. If the benefitting diocese is unable or unwilling to pay then the Sydney Candidate is asked to pay the bursary in the terms of the agreement he made. The Standing Committee has on occasions given me approval to waive a proportion or all of the bursary refundable by any Sydney Candidate.
