The above amounts will reduce by $20 per child if you pay before 28th February 2017.

There may be other opportunities for excursions or special events which present themselves. We will endeavour to keep the cost of these as low as possible and give families plenty of time to pay for them.

Apart from camps, we would prefer the rest to be paid by the end of Term 1 at the latest. Payment plans can be set up by making this arrangement at the school office. Alternatively you can set up your own plan to pay the school a set amount each week/ fortnight which will pay this off over a given period of time, preferably the first half of the year. If you do this, please put the family name in the reference line.

The school account details are BSB 063509

Account 10042656

A statement of costs will be issued to every family in the new school year. If you are in credit from the previous year, this is carried over. If you owe us money from the previous year, this also gets carried over.
