Parent Payments

Under the Department of Education and Training’s Parent
Payments Policy, Victorian government schools are required to provide transparent information to their school community on voluntary parent/carer contributions.

The following documents outline the voluntary parent/carer contributions at our school:

F Y1 Parent Payments Letter

Y2 Parent Payments Letter

Y34 Parent Payments Letter

Y56 Parent Payments Letter

Our parent payment letter, which is approved by school council and distributed annually, outlines the voluntary parent/carer contributions at our school.

Our school does not request any payments or contributions, and all services are provided at no cost to parents/carers.

Snack Shack

Our Snack Shack operates on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The menu emphasis is on healthy eating and the school won an award for the most improved canteen from the School Canteen Association for its improved menu. The menu is colour coded, RED for “occasional foods”, AMBER for “sometimes foods” and GREEN for “every day foods”. Students can have lunch orders on those days. Lunch orders are collected in the classrooms each morning. Stay tuned for our new healthy meal deals.

School Uniform

A compulsory school uniform policy, approved by School Council, helps the students identify with and belong to the school. Our uniform colours are green, gold and white.

Clothing can be purchased online from PSW via psw.com.au. Please download the pdf below to learn about ordering our school uniform from PSW.
