Parent Fees
Our voluntary Parent Payments remain the same as 2023. Fees are set at $190 per student with a $20 voluntary grounds fee (per family). As in previous years we offer payments in instalments—$47.50 per student per term. If you choose to pay in instalments the second payment is now due. If you are paying by direct deposit our bank details are:
BSB 063 740 Commonwealth Bank Account No. 1002 1311
PLEASE ENSURE YOU USE YOUR CHILD’S NAME with THE PAYMENT AS A REFERENCE
ILLNESS & MEDICATION
All medication to be administered to students must be accompanied by written advice providing directions for appropriate storage and administration, in the original bottle or container clearly labelled with the name of the student, dosage and time to be administered. Parents/guardians are asked to consider whether they can
administer medication outside the school day, such as before and after school and before bed.
BUS TRAVEL
As per previous years students will not be given permission to travel on a country bus that they do not normally travel on eg. For party invitations, sports etc. Most of the buses are running at full capacity, so you will need to make alternative arrangements.
STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Parents are reminded that Rochester Primary School does not provide personal accident insurance for students. There are some companies that provide this service if parents wish to take out a policy. Below is the contact details of one such company. All contact regarding these matters must be done through the company and not the school. The school does not endorse any particular company but provides a service by passing on contact information to parents. EMB Insurance Brokers – www.studentcover.com.au
