A focus upon driving continuous school improvement
2024 Parent Payment Arrangement
Upwey South Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning, and are advising you of our school’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024.
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students.
We thank you in advance for your continuing support of our school community, whether that’s through making prompt payments, through getting involved with fundraising, or through volunteering your time and ideas.
Our School Council is proud of the excellent quality of our facilities and learning resources available for our students. As a School Council, we acknowledge that the financial support we receive from families across our school community is what makes our school such a great place to belong.
The environment and resources that we enjoy today represent the contributions made by our parents/carers over the many years. It is this partnership between the school and our families that underpins our Guiding Principles and School Values. Your financial support ensures that we can continue to provide an excellent range of facilities and resources for our students. All payments can be made via Compass. Just click on the green banner within your family profile and follow the prompts.
