2026 Parent Payments
Thank you to those families who have either made, or started to make, contributions to our 2026 Parent Payments.
As always, we are committed to delivering free instruction that meets the standard Victorian Curriculum. We also want to reassure you that all financial contributions are strictly voluntary. However, the continued support from our families plays a vital role in enhancing the learning experiences and opportunities we can provide for all students.
Your contributions — whether financial, through fundraising, or by volunteering your time — have a significant impact. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to support programs that go beyond the classroom, such as:
- Purchasing equipment and resources for Art, Performing Arts, and Physical Education
- Supporting the development and implementation of our Playground Masterplan
- Enhancing classroom programs with high-quality teaching resources
Please refer to the table below for our 2026 Voluntary Financial Contributions Schedule, which outlines the recommended contributions and how these will be used to support your child’s education. Payments can be made via Qkr, BPay, EFTPOS or cash.
