There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.
Costs to consider 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.
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.
In 1988, the NSW Government introduced a special assistance scheme to help needy families of junior secondary (Years 7-10) children attending school.
The Principal, Head Teacher Wellbeing and School Administrative Manager will treat requests for assistance in the strictest confidence.
As a guide, assistance is usually offered in the areas of supplying school uniform; book/stationery packs; up to 50% of major school excursions and camps; contributions levied in elective subjects.
Parents requiring assistance should contact Mrs Kate Roberts (Relieving School Administrative Manager) and obtain an application form. Funds are strictly limited.
