2026 Parent Payments Reminder

Lancefield Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of Lancefield Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2026.

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements 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 your support, either financial or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

The environment and resources that we enjoy at Lancefield Primary School represent the contributions made by our parent and carers.  Parent/carer voluntary

contributions make a significant difference to the quality of our programs.  This financial support ensures that we can continue to provide the excellent range of facilities and resources for your children for example:

• Provide high quality programs and specific subject materials and equipment for English,

• Mathematics, STEM, Art, Topics, Auslan and PE;

• Maintain sufficient class sets of books for students to develop their reading skills including phonics program;

• Provide online learning subscriptions as well as Oliver library system;

• Arrange for student supplies and class bulk supplies;

• Develop our Wellbeing School Wide Positive Behaviour approaches including Kimochis;

• Maintain our high quality, bespoke SAKG Prep-6 program.

Please find attached Lancefield Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions schedules for 2026 which include an overview of what your contributions will help us to provide.  As for 2025, 2026 student/classroom supplies are provided for each year level/class rather than individual student packs.  Providing resources in this way reduces wastage (supplies are ordered taking stock on hand into account).  We have worked very hard to keep costs down as compared to previous years to reduce financial burden on families.

We invite families to make a voluntary financial contribution and indicate on the attached schedule/s how much you would like to contribute.  Please provide this to the school office when making a contribution so that contributions can be receipted as per your wishes.  

For further information on the Department’s Parent Payments Policy please see a one-page overview attached.

Applications are open for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF). The CSEF helps eligible families cover the cost of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

This is up from $154 and $256 respectively.  Completed applications are to be submitted to the school by Friday 26th June 2026.  Families that have been in receipt of CSEF previously do not need to complete a new application unless there have been changes to family circumstances.

Attendance- Unexplained Absences

Could parents/carers please check their Compass app for any unexplained absences and follow the steps to add an attendance note.  Alternatively, you can contact the office and we can enter an absent note on your behalf.
