Parent Payments

Curriculum Contributions 2025

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students.

We want to thank you for all you support, whether that is through fundraising or attending school events. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

Within our school this support has allowed us to offer a wide range of subjects, special curriculum experiences and enhanced digital learning opportunities.
