Financial contributions and assistance

There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.

These include:

  • uniforms

  • school books and equipment

  • excursions

  • co-curricular activities.

School Fees, money collection, notes

School fee invoices are issued at the beginning of each Term. The set fees are a charge to cover shortfalls in Government contributions. The money is used to buy necessary items eg.  paper, toilet paper, electricity etc.  Excursions are invoiced separately and the cost of additional curriculum activities.

Fees may be paid by instalments if required.

Excursions, performances and sporting events are organised regularly.  The cost of these will be invoiced at the beginning of each term.  Signed permission notes are required to be sent to the class teacher by the due date on the note to parents.

Voluntary school contributions

Like all NSW public schools, we can request contributions to enhance our educational and sporting programs including elective subjects. School contributions help provide additional educational resources for the benefit of students. Payment is voluntary.

For more information, visit the Voluntary School Contribution policy.

Financial assistance

If you are unable to pay school contributions because of financial hardship, you may be eligible for assistance from the school.

Our principal will ensure no student or family suffers any discrimination or embarrassment over the inability to pay school contributions.
