Fees and Charges

The Materials and Services Charges for 2008 is $225.00 and the Excursions, incursions and activities payment is $45.00 per year. All materials and stationery issued to students remain the property of the school. Term payment for Materials and Services Charges is $67.50 per term.

Provision for Part Time Payments
Arrangements to pay term by term fees must be negotiated with the Finance Officer before the end of Week 3, Term 1 of the current year.
All part payments are to be finalised by the end of Term 3.
This means Term 4 payment must be paid by the end of Term 3.

Important Information
The Materials and Services Charge does not include costs for photographs, Aquatics Program, year 7 windcheaters/graduation, special camps or sleepovers. Payment for aquatics and camps must be made before the event. There will be NO arrangements for after event payment. For a school camp held during Term 3 or 4, it will be expected that the full school fees will have been paid before approval is given to a student by the school to attend. For a camp held in Terms 1 or 2, fees must be up to date for your child to be able to attend. The full school fee and any outstanding music fees from the previous year must be paid before students can participate in the current year’s Instrumental program.

School Card
You need to reapply for School Card each year. Please see our Financial Officer.
The government will pay the school $185.00 per child so the difference to be paid by you is $85.00 - this is made up of $45.00 for Excursions, Incursions and Activities,
and $40.00 for Materials and Services Charges.
This is to be paid by the end of week 3, term 1.

Late applications after the due date will not be accepted, therefore resulting in parents being required to pay the full fee. An application form with a fact sheet and authorisation information is available from the Finance Officer.
Other forms are available - hardship, change in financial circumstances, self-employed, veterans, foster children, new arrivals/migrants.

Debt Collection
Parents having financial difficulty are asked to contact the school to discuss options available, to avoid action being taken to collect fees. All costs incurred for debt collection will be passed onto the parent.

Please note:
A Tax Invoice will be sent home to you in the first week of each school year.
