Parent Payment Information

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assre you that all contributions are voluntary. However, the school still must meet the substantial costs involved in providing these materials. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families is important to ensure that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We are grateful for the support we recieve through the school community, whether that’s through fundraising or volunteering time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer. Within our school continued support through these payments has allowed us to provide opportunities we couldn’t otherwise, both in the classrooms and out in the playground. These include the essential learning items in book boxes, engaging literacy and numeracy resources and up-to date digital learning tools.

Our school fees have been carefully considered by School Council to ensure they meet DET Policy.

Curriculum Contributions

Curriculum Contributions are items and activities which the school deems as essential for student learning, without which, students would be unable to access the school’s delivery of the standard curriculum.

Extra-Curricular Items and Activities
