School Council Update

School Council 

Each year our school council approves our school budget and the changes to the Parent Payment Policy last year has meant a significant change to the way our school prepares the these budget.  

 

Each year Victorian Government Schools receive an allocation of funding from the Department of Education. This funding covers the cost of our Teaching Staff and also limited money to help cover the cost of utilities and maintenance. All other funding is raised through Parent Payments and covers the cost of everything else around the school, including classroom furniture, classroom supplies, ICT equipment, additional repairs/maintenance, and much more to allow us to run our outstanding educational programs.

School Council would like to thank all of the families that have already made Parent Contributions in 2022. Every dollar counts for our school, so if you haven't made a contribution we would greatly appreciate it. Parent contributions can also be made via Compass or call the office on 98272959.
