Payments for Excursions and Activities

This is a gentle reminder to please ensure payments for excursions and activities are made prior to the event. The school relies on prompt payment to ensure we can cover the costs of all events. Where events have passed, the due date has been extended to allow payment.

Payment can be made via Compass, over the counter at the Office or over the phone.

Curriculum Contributions

We really appreciate all payments from families to cover the cost of stationery and classroom consumables each year. Thank you to all families who have paid to date. We understand that not all families are able to pay, and this charge is voluntary, however if you are able to make this payment, we would really appreciate it.

The cost for each year level is:

Foundation $133

Year 1/2 $126

Year 3/4 $116

Year 5/6 $92

Payment can be made via Compass under Course Confirmations, or alternatively over the phone or at the office.

Thank you for your understanding.
