Voluntary Contribution
Dear Parent/Carers,
We are halfway through the school year and we are excited about the second half of the year. We would like to remind you of Oatlands Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2025.
Oatlands Primary School’s commitment to excellence in teaching and learning drives us to continuously innovate and enhance our educational programs. While schools provide free instruction to meet standard curriculum requirements, we want to assure you that all contributions are completely voluntary.
The ongoing support of our families enables that our school can offer enriched curriculum and learning experiences extending what is funded by the Government. We sincerely thank all families for your support, whether through fundraising, volunteering your time or financial contributions. Your involvement has made a significant difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
Oatlands Primary School is appreciative of your contributions which has enabled us to provide outstanding facilities and resources for our students such as;
Full kitchen classroom
Library books
Enhanced digital learning opportunities
Upgrade of sporting equipment
Maintenance of School Grounds and improvements to play areas
Classroom furniture
Many other materials that assist with running high quality programs
Regarding the Schools Saving Bonus (SSB) distributed to all students, part of this money can be donated back to the school to support educational programs and resources that benefit all students. If you wish to donate part of your SSB money, please call the school and we will guide you through the process.
Voluntary contributions can still be made through Compass pay or by visiting the school office Monday to Friday.
For further information on the Department’s Parent Payments Policy please see attached overview.
