SCHOOL INFORMATION 

SCHOOL LEVIES 

It is an expectation that Essential Educational Items are paid to support the provision of quality materials and items. ALL funds collected as Essential Education Items provide the ONLY budget to our teachers (i.e. classroom materials for our students).  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. School Council is aware of the financial constraints placed on families and ensure levy charges are kept to an absolute minimum. Staff are held accountable for the resources they require and undergo meticulous monitoring. If we wish to maintain our status as a school of excellence, we need to provide the best for our children.

We do not want to compromise our programs. If families do not honour there commitment it is very difficult to deliver the programs as planned. Programs then have to be altered to account for the reduction in revenue compromising what has been planned and can be delivered. Whilst we receive funds from the government to educate our children, the amount is minimal and certainly does not keep up with increasing costs.

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.
