Contribution and Charges

Below is the approved schedule of contributions and charges for 2023. This outlines the maximum costs that may be incurred throughout the coming school year.

Contributions and Charges 2023

The contribution parents/caregivers are being asked to pay in 2023 has been set at $60.00 per student, which does not exceed the limit set by the School Education Regulations 2000. The voluntary contribution per child ($60.00) equates to the minimal amount of $1.50 per week, over the course of the school year.

Whilst the contribution is voluntary, the quality of our teaching and learning program will be maximised when each family makes its contribution to supplementing our school funding gained from other sources, including the State and Commonwealth governments. Voluntary contributions assist with the cost of materials, services and facilities used by all students in these educational programs: Technologies, Library, HASS, Science, English, Maths, and Arts.

Voluntary contributions are used for the direct benefit of all our students, therefore our goal is to raise our community’s contribution rate to 100%; the school and Board thank you in advance for your continued support.

A breakdown of estimated charges for your child’s participation in excursions, incursions and other activities for 2021 has been included in the attached table. Historical detail on charges collected in previous years, has been considered when determining our 2021 charges schedule.
