PARENT PAYMENTS

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. 

 

The environment and resources that we enjoy at Lancefield Primary Schol 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.

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.  If you have yet to contribute this year, we strongly encourage you to do so.

If you are unable or choose not to make financial contributions, your child will not be disadvantaged or denied access to the resources required to deliver the curriculum.

 

Bus Travellers

A reminder to please advise the office if your child will not be catching the bus home on their scheduled day.  Buses are being held up due to staff trying to locate students who are scheduled to travel home by bus but cannot be located due to already being picked up by parents/carers.  

 

Lunch Order Wallets - Bakery Lunch Orders

 

Re-usable lunch order wallets are available from Stickybeaks Reusable Lunch Order Bags | Stickybeaks.  Wallets are $12.50 each, insulated wallets $14.50 and can be ordered by families direct from the supplier.

 

The wallets reduce the amount of waste from lunch orders as they eliminate the need for single use paper bags, envelopes and zip lock bags.

 

Made from non-woven polypropylene (like green shopping bags) they are durable and easy to clean, simply remove the base and wipe clean with a damp cloth.  The hygienic zippered pocket is to separate money from contact with food and clearly displays the child’s order and a transparent pocket displays name & class.  When not in use, the lunch wallet folds down into a convenient wallet and fastened closed with a velcro strap.  They come in eight binding colours to choose from.
