Curriculum Contributions
What are curriculum contribitions?
Curriculum Contributions are voluntary financial contributions for curriculum items and activities which the school deems necessary for students to learn the Curriculum. As each school delivers the Curriculum based on their own local context, it is at a school’s discretion to determine whether an item or activity is necessary for delivering the Curriculum. Schools must be able to justify why an item or activity is necessary to the school’s delivery of the Curriculum.
What they do NOT cover?
Free instruction includes teaching staff, administration and provision of facilities in connection with the instruction of the curriculum, including reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities.
