There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.

Costs to consider include:

• uniforms
• school books and equipment
• excursions
• co-curricular activities.

For more information, see Voluntary school contributions on the Department of Education's website.

If you are unable to pay school contributions because of financial hardship, you may be eligible for assistance from the school.

Our principal will ensure no student or family suffers any discrimination or embarrassment over the inability to pay school contributions.
