School fees and levies

Fees and levies letter from the Principal

Direct Debit Request Form

At the end of each year, the School Board sets the fees and levies for the following year. A letter advising families of fees and levies is sent out in November. Families have two options for the payment of School Fees and Levies.

Option One: is to set up a direct debit on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Payments via direct debit generally finish at the end of November of that year unless there is an outstanding amount. 

Option Two: is to pay the full amount by the 30th of April. 

 If any families are experiencing difficulty in paying, they are asked to meet with the principal to discuss other possible arrangements. 

Subject Levies: The school receives a Government Allowance for children from Prep to Grade 6. However, this does not cover all the necessary classroom costs and a levy is charged for the difference in each grade.

Levies for each grade level may vary. Levies cover the cost of classroom supplies and resources, swimming, gym, technology, incursions and local excursions.

 

Some parents may be eligible to claim financial assistance from the State government - this is known as the Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF). Information regarding applying for CSEF will be placed in our school newsletter in Term 1.
