SCHOOL INFORMATION
COLLEGE LEVIES
Please be reminded that College Levies were due in full before the commencement of 2017 unless prior arrangement has been made. Thank you to the families who have paid in full or have arranged an approved payment/instalment plan. 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 students). Students chose subjects and families approved the choice of electives in 2016, therefore subjects have been planned and costed according to the commitments made by families.
The college will be making contact with families shortly who may have overlooked making these payments. Alternately can these families please contact the office to check the amounts outstanding. 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 SC can be maintained.
UPDATE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Please inform the office if you have updated your credit card details (new number/expiry date) or bank details so that agreed payment plans can be upheld.
CHANGE OF CONTACT DETAILS
Almost all information is forwarded to families by email. It is important to keep the College updated of any changes to email addresses, as well as other changes such as address and telephone numbers. Notification of changes can be done via Compass or emailed to the College at info@mesc.vic.edu.au
