Your student will be interviewed shortly regarding their course for 2018 and will be provided with a subject contribution sheet for the coming year. A letter detailing what is covered in the Essential items will be attached. Payment via Compass (either full or by establishing a quarterly instalment payment plan) is the College’s preferred option.
McKinnon’s school leaders and the School Council work hard to ensure costs to families are kept as low as possible, whilst also striving to provide an education of the highest quality. A copy of the parent payment policy is available on the school website.
While the College reasonably expects all parents to pay the Student Materials and Services Charge (and charges for elective subjects in Years 9 – 12) we are, as always, sensitive to those in financial difficulty. Families in financial difficulty should contact a member of the Principal team or the Business Manager to discuss alternative payment options.

CHELSEA HAN
During the September school holidays Ms Chelsea Han (Staff Member) rode her bike 650kms to Mildura in the Great Cycle Challenge.
Chelsea did this to raise money for research into children’s cancer. Her dedication and compassion for this cause is truly commendable. This is a fantastic achievement and we congratulate her for her efforts.
Chelsea's story was published in the Sunraysia Daily.
