There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for such as:
- uniforms
- school books and equipment
- excursions
- extra-curricular activities.
Voluntary school contribution
At the start of each year we may ask for a voluntary school contribution to enhance our educational and sporting programs.
We try to keep any additional costs to a minimum and may be able to assist families who are having financial difficulty paying schooling costs.
AT EPPING HEIGHTS
At Epping Heights parents receive an invoice each term which outlines all the expected costs for the coming term. These costs include the costs for textbooks, stationery, literacy resources, excursions, dance classes, sport and other costs associated with the delivery of high quality education programs.
The invoice also includes a request to make a 'voluntary contribution' to the school. The current suggested contribution is $125 per family. These contributions make up a large part of the funds available for resourcing the teaching across the Key Learning Areas. We very much appreciate the receipt of these contributions.
The invoice also includes a request to make a voluntary donation to the Library Fund. These donations are tax-deductible. The suggested donation per family is currently $77.
Some parents who are able, make additional donations to the school which are gratefully acknowledged and very much appreciated. Some parents choose to support a specific program area such as technology. Funds have been used to supplement the cost of providing technology resources for classrooms. Literacy and Numeracy are other important areas which you may like to support with additional donations.
We are pleased to offer the opportunity to pay the term invoice via credit card. Cheques and cash are also accepted.
All enquiries regarding the term invoice and payments should be made to the School Administration Manager, Mrs Wendy Morritt.
