To help with start of school year costs, we have held off sending home levies invoices.  These will be generated and mailed to parents in early April.

Levies are one of the many ways that families contribute to our school community. Levies support student learning by contributing towards the cost of essential items and services.

When setting school levies and charges the school:

• considers inclusive education, community expectations and family financial constraints
• sets levies at the lowest amount possible
• consults with the School Association of the school.

The all-inclusive levy you pay contributes to:

• items your child uses during the school year such as learning materials and consumables
• services, such as school excursions, attending performances and school camps that are part of your child’s educational program.

Additional Charges for optional activities may apply:

• extra-curricular activities such as sports registrations, entry fees
• year 10 Celebration Dinner, Year 10 Hoodie
• materials beyond that which are reasonably supplied in a subject area
• other extra-curricular activities as they arise

Payment Options:

All payments can be made

• in person at the school by cash, cheque, credit card;
• by over-the-phone credit transactions;
• through Service Tasmania, either via their website (refer to your invoice for details), or in person;
• by BPay through your bank or financial institution to the Department of Education (BPay code and reference number for payments are on your invoice).

Difficulty Paying?

Payment can be negotiated by contacting the School Office, with levy payments finalised by the beginning of Term 4 or, if more flexible arrangements are required, payment by instalment is available. Parents/carers should complete the “Agreement to Pay Levies by Instalment“ form. This form is available by contacting Lisa Bean, School Business Manager.  All payment conversations and arrangemets will be treated with the strictest of confidentiality.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE (STAS)

STAS is one of the forms of financial assistance available to assist with the cost of school levies. The scheme provides assistance for low-income families towards the cost of levies for students enrolled from kindergarten through to year 12. Income assessment is applied to parents/guardians of dependent students, and independent students applying for assistance under the scheme. Application forms are available from the school office.

For specific enquiries regarding assistance completing the application or application procedures please contact:
