Parent Financial Contributions 2019

Parent Contributions

Mount View Primary School is a great school, achieving outstanding results.  The Parent Contributions made to the school have supported this objective.  We are proud to offer our students a comprehensive, well-resourced educational program and continually strive for the highest standards across all aspects of our programs.  To achieve our goals it is fundamental to provide quality resources which support 21st Century teaching and learning as well as a safe and secure environment.  The Mount View PS Parent Contributions are quite moderate compared to many schools and the school aims to use these contributions to deliver educational initiatives in the current year.

The Victorian Government provides for much of our school’s basic operational requirements with a financial grant that is paid to the school in quarterly instalments. This covers some curriculum support and items such as contract cleaning, gas and electricity, water rates, facilities, telephone, furniture, administration and basic repairs to buildings. In order to provide educational programs of a standard and quality expected in our community, funds, in addition to those provided by the Government, are needed through Parent Contributions.

The application of Parent Contributions in 2018 once again allowed the school to be extremely well resourced which contributed to the outstanding and comprehensive educational program that was provided at Mount View PS.

As in previous years, the Parent Contributions are made up of essential, optional and voluntary components (some of which are tax deductable).  We are fortunate that our school community value the high standard of resourcing that payment of these contributions provides. The School Council and Mount View staff greatly appreciate all of your contributions so that we can continue to provide outstanding facilities and resources for our students.

To sustain these, and bring our 2019 plans to fruition, we seek your support in the payment of Essential, Optional and Voluntary contributions.
