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.

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.

Students are charged a Text Book & School Contribution Fee each year.  The School Contribution Fee covers the cost of classroom consumables such as exercise books, lead pencils, pens, glue sticks, etc which are replaced as required throughout the year.  To help keep costs to a minimum the Contribution Fee is charged per family, not per student.  Should you experience difficulty in meeting these costs please contact the Principal to arrange a suitable payment plan.

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.
