School Donation

The Board of Trustees requests a donation for each full-time pupil.  This donation enables the school to fund additional activities that extend and enrich our students’ experiences at school.  

- Subsidising human resources (Librarian, ICT Technician, Teacher Aide support in classes)

- Enhanced classroom supplies i.e. (Superior art supplies, Cartridge paper versus Newsprint, Pastels versus Crayons)

- Classroom Technology (Computers, Interactive Boards, Coding Devices) 

This year the donation has been set at $140.00. A request for the school donation will be mailed to you. 

For any third or subsequent child the amount will be 50% of the school donation ($70.00).  The school activity fee will be the same for each family member.

It is realised that at times it may be difficult for people to meet all payments.  The school is happy to accept contributions of school donation and payment of school accounts by instalments or monthly direct credit.  Just contact the office to make the necessary arrangements (03) 2184-228.  Payments can be made to the school office by cash, Eftpos and internet banking.
