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 for years K –7. A contribution is voluntary and the funds are used towards the cost of materials, services and facilities used by students in the educational programme.
Money collected will be used to supplement school expenditure in the curriculum Learning Areas. While the Contributions are voluntary the quality of our teaching and learning program will be maximised when each family makes its contribution to the cost of supplementing funding gained from other sources, including the State and Commonwealth governments. It is therefore vital for the school to receive your family’s Contributions. Your Contribution will be used to supplement school funding for the purchase of resources needed in the provision of the learning program activities.

These amounts are the maximum you will be asked for. If any difficulties are experienced, please discuss the situation with the Principal.
Refunds:
Parents may be entitled to a refund of any unused portion of the contributions and charges they have paid if their child transfers to another school prior to the end of the year.
