Financial

In early December of each year families receive their proposed Charges and Voluntary Contributions for the upcoming year. This is a Department of Education mandatory requirement as it allows families time to review proposed courses of study and costs payable. Once the school timetable grid has been set, usually by March the following year, families will receive their confirmed Charges and Voluntary Contribution.

As mandated by government legislation, a set $235 Contribution course of study is available to students in Years 7 to 10. Extra cost optional courses outside the set $235 core program incur additional charges. Charges relate to items that students utilise over and above that which are supplied by the Department of Education. All courses of study undertaken in Years 11 and 12 incur compulsory charges. A detailed explanation of Charges, Voluntary Contributions, Other Optional Costs and Voluntary Approved Requests can be found in our Contributions and Charges Handbook.

Secondary Assistance Scheme
Secondary Assistance in the form of financial subsidies is available to holders of valid Centrelink Health Care Cards, Pensioner Concession Cards or Veterans Affairs Concession Cards. This entitles the cardholder to $235 towards Voluntary Contribution and an additional $115 Uniform Allowance. The Education Program Allowance ($235) is paid directly to the school and applied to Voluntary Contributions for Years 7-10. For those parents/guardians who elect to direct their Uniform Allowance ($115) to the school, these funds will be deducted from the compulsory charges first and then voluntary contributions (Years 7-10). For eligible students in Years 11 and 12, both Education Program Allowance and Uniform Allowance will be applied directly to compulsory charges. For detailed information please refer to the links below.

Application forms are available through our Accounts Officer. Students or parents need to provide proof of eligibility and the Accounts Officer needs to witness the application form. Applications must be completed in Term 1 each school year.

Centrepay
Centrepay can be offered free of charge to parents/guardians who receive regular payments from Centrelink. We are able to quickly and easily set up your Centrepay Account at the school to assist in making regular payments over the duration of the school year. Please see our Accounts Officer for further information.
