School Donation

Parents are asked to make a donation of $65.00 to help cover costs for additional school activities and the "extras" we like to provide which are not covered by government funding.

A discount of $15 applies if paid before 31 March 2011.

Compulsory Specialist Activity Fees

This fee of $57.50 (including GST) covers the take-home materials students' use during Specialist Technology and Arts classes. We would appreciate this being paid in Term 1.

Cellphones, Walkmans, iPods and like

We realise that students bring phones to school, but it is inappropriate for these to be used during the school day. We expect students to hand them into the school office in the morning and collect them in the afternoon.

We take absolutely no responsibility for cellphones that are not handed in to the office. Walkmans iPods, PSP's etc are not to be brought to school and again we cannot take responsibility if they are stolen or lost. Any items found being used during the school day will be confiscated and returned on collection by caregiver.
