Parent Contributions

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we value your support towards the provision of the curriculum at our school. 

Nevertheless, the ongoing financial support of our families ensures the long-term viability of vital programs, facilities, and support for our students. 

Parent financial contributions ensure we can continue to provide the following at our school during 2023:

• High quality sportsgrounds, gym & theatre.
• Literacy & Numeracy support programs.
• Wellbeing staff and programs for counselling, engagement, and support of student mental health.
• State of the art equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutters and IT software.
• Best practice interactive teaching and learning resources.
• Community events for VCAL, Visual and Performing Arts programs.
• Community links programs such as CONNECT, Learning Journeys and careers pathways.

We at Parkdale Secondary College make every effort to keep the cost of items and activities to a minimum and affordable for all parents in our community.

With this in mind we would like to ask if you can contribute in any way towards the provision of the programs and facilities we run at Parkdale secondary College, we would appreciate any funding you could provide. 

Suggested contributions can be found on your Compass account under Payments Centre
