2024 PARENT PAYMENTS
2024
Dear parent/guardian,
Naranga School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of Naranga School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024.
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum 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 want to thank you for all your support, whether that is through fundraising or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
Within our school this support has allowed us to allow a wider offering of subjects and special curriculum experiences; enhanced digital learning opportunities; upgrade play equipment.
Naranga School is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) with the result that any donations made by you will be tax deductible. To be tax deductible, your donation needs to be made voluntarily. We have suggested an amount to be contributed under “Curriculum Contributions” and “Other Contributions” below, but please feel free to contribute an alternative amount. Amounts paid under “Extra-Curricular Items and Activities” are not donations and are not tax deductible.
For further information on the Department’s Parent Payments Policy please see a one-page overview attached.
Yours sincerely,
Kai Pukarinen Chris Reid
Principal School Council President
