Parent Contributions

The 2026 Parent Contributions are available via your child’s Compass portal under Course Confirmations. 

 

While the Department of Education provides funding to schools each year on a per student enrolled basis, this funding only covers a portion of the core operating costs of running the school. It covers things like classroom teacher salaries, contract cleaning, gas and electricity, water rates, telephone, some repairs to buildings, some administration, and some curriculum support.

 

The funding does not cover the additional programs run at GRPS that support our student’s wellbeing and growth, or the consumables required in the classrooms for use throughout the 2026 school year. Our specialist programs in particular rely heavily on parent contributions to ensure we have access to the latest equipment and resources.

 

Additional projects around the school including garden upgrades, repairs to buildings, outdoor furniture and shade sails are all only made possible via fundraising, department funding does not cover any of these items.

 

Some of the major works that have happened over the last year or so at school were due to successful applications for Department of Education capital works grants. 

 

We would like to thank families who have already supported the school by making a contribution to their child’s education.

 

If you have not made a voluntary contribution, and are in a position too, we encourage you to do so via compass course confirmation.
