Parent Payments

2023 Parent Payments

In the past Parent Payments and contributions have enabled us to provide additional resources and programs to the school community and our students. Government funding does not provide the level of funding required to continue to resource some of these programs.

The funding received from Parent Payments enables us to ensure all students have access to high quality Mathematics and Literacy resources for use in the classroom. Over the last 2 years we have invested money into resourcing these areas so that students can access equipment to support their learning, these have included hands on equipment in maths and providing high quality and high engagement literature in our library and classrooms. As well as ensuring we can provide up to date and engaging resources for our Specialist Programs which have included Science, Art and Physical Education equipment.

The Parent Payments have also enabled us to access digital learning apps to support Literacy and Numeracy, as well as software like SeeSaw, our online library system and eBooks. These funds have also supported the school in purchasing and maintaining devices like Chromebooks, iPads and laptops for use in the classroom by all students.
