Financial contributions and assistance

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

These include:

  • uniforms

  • school books and equipment

  • excursions

  • co-curricular activities.

Voluntary school contributions

Like all NSW public schools, we can request contributions to enhance our educational and sporting programs including elective subjects. School contributions help provide additional educational resources for the benefit of students. Payment is voluntary.

For more information, visit the Voluntary School Contribution policy.

Financial assistance

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.

Parent online payment

Through parent online payment (POP), it is now possible for parents to make online payments to the school via a secure payment page hosted by Westpac. Online payments can be made using either a Visa or Master Card credit or debit card. The payment page can be accessed through 'Make a payment'. 

Kindly note that payments for uniform orders cannot be made through POP facilities.

Always refer to your child's permission note or invoice when making an online payment. Information provided on the permission note or invoice will include a reference number, payment description, cost and closing date. For your convenience, permission notes will be available in the notes section. 

It is necessary to enter your child's details each time you make a payment as student information is not held within the payment system.  If making payment for more than one child, payments for each child need to be made separately. No student's details are given to Westpac.

Making an online payment does not constitute permission. Please return all signed permission notes, including the online payment receipt number, to school.

This is a secure payment system hosted by Westpac to ensure that your credit/debit card details are captured in a secure manner, these details are not passed back to the school.

You can print your own receipts or have a receipt emailed to your email account. This gives you immediate proof that you have paid for the item. Record your receipt number on your child's permission note/invoice and return it to the school office. Your payment will then be reconciled against the receipt number you provide on the permission note.

If you have any questions regarding the online payment process please contact the school office.
