VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL

A reminder to all parents and guests that you are required to report directly to the General Office upon arrival at the school. This is an OH&S requirement for the School as we need to know who is on site at all times. 

When coming to School to meet with staff, it is best practice to make an appointment first. This will allow for a suitable time to meet with you and discuss student progress or address any concerns that you or the School may have.  

PARENT PAYMENTS AND SCHOOL CHARGES 2021

Tarneit Senior College Council is committed to providing the best possible opportunities for all our students. In order to provide a high standard of service, some financial contributions from parents are necessary. School Council has approved a policy which levies a range of charges on parents, know as ‘the bundle’; these are compliant with the DET Policy for Parent Payments. 

I thank all parents/students who have already paid, or made arrangements to pay, their School Charges for 2021. 

For those parents who have not yet done so, I ask that you make payment in the near future, via one of the following options; 

  • Cash
  • EFTPOS
  • Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard), in person or by phone
  • BPay
  • Centrepay

The General Office is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm each school day. We are happy to take payments in full or by instalment. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Office Manager – Monique Craig on 9749-0246.
