including per capital funding and special grants.                 $ 5,435,758

Good Shepherd School Board and FRAC (Finance Risk Audit Compliance committee) work hard at keeping school fees low and school facilities to a high standard utilising the funding that we receive.

In 2025, while most of our income goes into the ongoing employment of staff to care for and educate students, there were a number of projects that we rolled out across the school including;

• Construction and installation of a brand-new Junior Primary Playground.
• Construction and installation of a brand-new Middle Primary Playground.
• Construction and installation of brand-new playground equipment on oval boundary.
• Automatic doors in front office foyer
