Financial matters

Ministry of Education funding received by schools only provides for the very basic curriculum delivery. We pride ourselves on offering enhanced learning opportunities for all students.

To enable us to provide these opportunities, we rely on contributions from parents/caregivers.  We endeavour to keep these as low as possible, but we know the materials and activities are not cheap.  Our families are aware of this and we appreciate the high level of financial support given to the school.  General contributions can be claimed annually as a tax credit.  

Indicative Contributions for 2017

  • General contributions - $150 per student ($200 for two or more students from the same family)
  • Major project contribution (one per family) - $20.00
  • PTA contribution (one per family) - $20.00
  • Course contributions - vary between subjects but range from $10  eg French, to $200 eg Chef Training.  

The above costs will be detailed on your Contributions Summary, which is emailed to you each term.  It is greatly appreciated if payment can be made as soon as possible (in particular course contributions).
