Fees and Donation

School Donation

The school donation is a voluntary payment that the school requests from families. It enables the school to provide facilities and services for students that are not otherwise able to be provided by government funding, eg the school magazine and additional library books and computers.  The donation requested is $95 for a single student and $160 for a family. The donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be provided.

School Fees

A subject fee is a charge for materials where the end product belongs to the student and is taken home, eg technology projects and course workbooks. Parents are made aware that charges for materials are a feature of courses in the course handbook. Parents signing the course selection form indicates that they are aware of the fees and will undertake to pay them for courses their child is enrolled in.

A stationery fee is charged to pay for the school diary, school calendar and some student printing.

An activity fee is a charge for a school activity in order to cover the actual costs of the activity, for example, transport and entry fees. Activity fees are charged for activities such as camps, sports teams, subject field trips, and performances. Any activity where an activity fee is requsted will be notified with a school letter. Activity fees need to be paid prior to the event and are usually returned with permission slips.

If a family has concerns regarding their ability to pay any fees they should contact the Bursar to discuss options available.
