Study Hall (Homework Club)

Students - how would you like to have the opportunity to discuss your learning or gain support for completing your work in your subjects?

All students are invited to attend the College Library on Thursdays, 3.30pm - 5.00pm to get learning support and undertake independent or small study group work.

The intention is for students to have access to support from the range of teachers working in Study Hall.

As well, the Study Hall time in the Library is a place when you could make a time in advance to meet with your teacher for tuition in a particular subject.

As this is a new initiative for the College it is hoped that all students who would appreciate a space to undertake study or an opportunity to receive support from teachers or peers will attend - you will be made most welcome.

Study Hall teachers: Ms Fairbrass, Ms Dey, Mr Handford, Mr Morrison and Mr Papadakis

Understanding Parent Payment Policy

Curriculum Contributions

Voluntary financial contributions for curriculum items and activities which the school deems necessary for students to learn the Curriculum.

Other Contributions

Voluntary financial contributions for non-curriculum items and activities that relate to the school's functions and objectives.

Extra-Curricular Items and Activities

Items and activities that enhance or broaden the schooling experience of students and are above and beyond what the school provides for free to deliver the Curriculum. These are provided on a user-pays basis.

Lost Property

A reminder to please ensure student's items are labelled with their name so that lost property items can be easily returned to students.

The General Office lost property cupboard is filled with items that do not have names on them and unfortunately we do not have the space to keep them. Unclaimed and unnamed school items get donated to welfare and other non school items get donated to a charity bin after 2 weeks.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) applications

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.

Payment amounts this year are $225 for eligible secondary school students. Payments are made direct to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions and sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances.

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office on 9458 2811 and ask for an application form or download the form here.

Viewbank College Building Fund

The College would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank those families who have already contributed to the Building Fund this year.

How will your donation assist the College?

The College has a Master Plan for building works with the focus on creating more usable spaces for our students. Your generous donation will contribute greatly to this.In the past Building Fund donations have supported various improvements throughout the school such as the installation of heating/cooling, external painting and upgrades to learning spaces.

Another exciting opportunity is the development of our VCE Study Centre, to provide our Year 12 students with a purpose-built space to study, gather and collaborate in their final year at the College.

The end of financial year is fast approaching, if you would like to take the opportunity to make a taxable deduction donation to our Building Fund, please click the Donate Now button below
