Contributions
In accordance with the Department of Education Contributions, Charges and Fees Policy September 2001, schools can request up to a maximum contribution of $60.00 for each child in years K-6.
A Contribution is voluntary, and the funds are used towards the cost of materials and resources used by students in the educational program.
Contributions collected at this school are approved by the School Council and will contribute to purchasing additional resources for your child’s education.
Contributions for students enrolling during the school year will be calculated according to the term of entry.
Charges
The term charges refer to the provision of extra cost optional activities, which are part of an educational program and which Voluntary Contributions do not cover. All the following are optional and available to ALL students; however, participation is conditional on payment being made. If no payment is received, an educational activity with a similar outcome will be provided to that student.
The 2025 extra cost optional activities, which have been approved by School Council, are as follows. The estimated costs provided are at an upper limit and will not exceed this amount.
Payment Options
Parents can pay the Contributions off by periodical instalments if required.
The school will notify parents when any charges are due so that payment plans can be made before the event / activity takes place. Full payment is required by the day of the event / activities.
Parents are encouraged to pay regular instalments to place themselves in a credit position. This assists when money is due
