Material and Services
This year, we once again ran an online poll for Materials and Services for all year levels for 2026 fees.
The first poll of our families has been conducted for the Reception, Year 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 school fees in 2026. The proposed fee is $445, which could be legally recovered if polling is successful.
The Polling Officers have informed us that respondents were in favour of this proposal.
Therefore, in 2026, the school fees for Reception, Year 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 will be fully recoverable.
The second poll was for Year 3 School fees in 2026. The proposed fee is $859, which could be legally recoverable if polling is successful, and includes a Chromebook for each year 3 student.
The Polling Officers have informed us that respondents were in favour of this proposal.
Therefore, in 2026 the school fees Year 3 of $870 will be fully recoverable.
These figures do not include the $200 State Government rebate.
Material and Services play a vital role in supporting the school's operation in conjunction with funding provided by the Department for Education (DfE).
Lots of conversation is held at Governing Council meetings by our parent representatives as we want to keep costs down as much as possible.
Material and Services are used for a variety of purposes including:
- Stationery
- Classroom resources
- ICT Resources
- Library Resources
This is just a short list of how Materials and Services support our students.
We appreciate everyone's support with polling to ensure we can continue to grow this amazing school.
