Parent Payment Arrangements
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We want to thank you for all your support, whether that’s through fundraising or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
Within our school this support has allowed us to provide a wider offering of subjects and special curriculum experiences; enhanced digital learning opportunities; hands on and engaging resources including the purchase of musical instruments and electronic robots for computer coding. Your ongoing support is appreciated, and we are grateful for any contribution you are able to provide towards financial contributions for 2023.
