Parent Payments 2025

The School Council has approved the parent contributions for the 2025 school year.

The following letter from our School Council President, Jennifer Bittner, and Principal, George Perini, and the breakdown of the parent contributions for this school year has been provided and is accessible in your Compass News Feed:

Our School Council is proud of the quality of the facilities and resources available for our students to enjoy and few schools match the numerous programs that we offer to cater for student’s needs. At Essex Heights, the continuous improvement of student learning and the children’s continued health and wellbeing is central to everything we do. In 2025, we look forward to another great year of teaching and learning. With this in mind, we would like to advise you of the EHPS voluntary financial contributions for 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 provide classroom bulk supplies, as well as offer rich and extensive programs outside of the traditional teaching and learning structure. These financial contributions assist us with the purchasing of the resources for our exemplary specialist programs of Art / ArtSEL, Music, Science, Indonesian and Health & Physical Education, as well as the maintenance and upgrade of our facilities and grounds e.g. classrooms, playgrounds, student play spaces and our school oval. 

Other programs that we can offer because of your contributions include the provision and upkeep of our computer devices e.g. purchase of new laptops, maintenance of extensive sets of books for reading, provision of mathematical resources in every classroom, year level choirs and effective first aid for all students. 

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

For further information on the Department's Parent Payments Policy please see the one-page overview attached in the message in your Compass News Feed. 

By paying these contributions you assist our school to provide the many additional items that makes our school great, including the provision of all books, stationery and computer resources for the year for our students.

Parent Payments have been published on Compass. Payment by Compass Pay or BPay is preferred; EFTPOS (VISA/MasterCard) can be processed at the School Office.
