How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

Ads Manager is absolutely horrendous and untrustworthy. It doesn’t honour your settings, and instead turns on “creative optimisations” and AI BS by default. With CPAs increasing and even worse things to come… and an ageing userbase… why on earth would advertisers stay?
