Parent Payment

The department have implemented a new policy surrounding parent payments. Please take the time to read the important information below and attached.

 

 

Dear parent/guardian,

 

Toolamba Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of our voluntary financial contributions for 2022.

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and resources for our students. We want to thank you for all your support, whether that’s through fundraising or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

The environment and resources that we enjoy today represent the contributions made by the school community over many years. This support has:

  • enabled a greater access to quality educational programs and special curriculum     experiences
  • permitted the school to build on a high quality and diverse range of literature to engage students in the reading process. 
  • enabled us to have the appropriate technology to support both onsite and remote
  • facilitated the provision of some fully or partially subsidised excursions and activities learning needs
  • provided hands on maths equipment i.e.: measuring materials for teaching purposes. 
  • delivered a range of sporting, science, and musical equipment. 
  • provided a range of construction toys for developmental play 
  • assisted with the maintenance and development of the school grounds.
  • enabled the provision of social and celebratory functions like Graduation and Concert.

Parent/Carers voluntary contributions make significant difference to the quality of our programs. Your financial support in 2021 allowed us to: 

  • arrange for quality individual student supplies and class bulk supplies e.g., books, pens, pencils 
  • ensure the upkeep of our computer devices to enhance learning opportunities for all
  • facilitate Literacy and Mathematics online digital subscriptions.
