The school sort permission from the CEODoW to increase the Student Resource Levy for the 2021 school year by $35.00. The school has decided to implement a new initiative around student resources to ensure that students have all resources required for the whole of the school year. When the school looked into this it was found that as the school orders in bulk it is much cheaper and less time consuming for parents. The 2021 Student Levy now covers all student requirements including your child’s pencil case.
The 2021 IT Levy remains the same as the 2020 school year.
                                  2021 Student Fees (per child per annum)
      Resource Levy - $185.00,    IT Levy - Kinder - Yr 5 - $75.00,  Yr 6 - $50.00

Kinder to Year 5  Excursion Levies and the Year 6 T’shirt levy remain the same as the 2020 school year. The Year 6 Excursion Levy was unavoidably increased by $20.00 for the 2021 school year due to an increase in costs associated with the Year 6 Camp due to new regulations following COVID-19. 

                                  Excursion Levy (per child per annum)
       Kinder - Year 2 - $50.00,       Year 3&4 - $70.00,  Year 5 $175.00
                    Year 6 - $460.00      Year 6 T'Shirt - $20.00
