LEVIES 2021
Levies
Students and families have received notification of successful enrolment in subjects for 2021. Course Confirmation/Payments are accessible on Compass. Please login to Compass to pay in full (by 09/12/2020) or accept the four pre-defined instalments dates (09/12/2020, 24/01/2021, 24/02/2021 & 24/03/2021). If you prefer to set up alternative arrangements, please contact the general office.
All funds collected as Essential Student Learning Items provide the only budget to our teachers (i.e. classroom materials for our students). We rely on the college community to partner with us in supporting the learning of our children so that the high standards expected of Mount Eliza Secondary College can be maintained. Students chose subjects and families approve the choice of electives, therefore subjects have been planned and costed according to the commitments made by families. If we want to continue to give our children excellent education with relevant resources, parent contributions are imperative. Non Payment of levies may result in the removal from high cost electives into no or low cost electives.
As always, we welcome the opportunity to support all families, if you are experiencing difficulty in making payment, please contact the general office
Booklists
Booklists are accessible via the College website. Be aware that if your student has enrolled in a subject for the year ahead, you will need to check if a text is required for that subject from the Booklist of that year level. Books will be delivered direct to an address of your choice.
