Charges 2017

SPECIAL NOTES The charges outlined above will enable students to achieve the relevant learning outcomes for each area. In some learning areas, students may negotiate with staff to complete a project that incurs materials costs beyond what is covered by the allocation shown above. Where this occurs, additional charges may be applied.

CHARGES FOR OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR: Charges apply for the provision of extra cost optional activities that are part of an education program and which ‘contributions’ do not cover. All activities outlined below are optional and if no payment is received, an alternative educational activity will be provided for your child. All 2015 extra cost optional activities have been approved by the School Council. The estimated costs provided are set as an upper limit and will not exceed the amount shown. If a particular event does not transpire within the school year, no charges for that event will apply. Payment of the following charges is not required at the time of finalising payment of contributions. Where staff arrange extra cost optional activities, payment will be requested immediately prior to the activity.

Collected throughout the year as events happen.

Visiting Artists/Performers (Kindergarten to Year 12) - Various activities are subsidised by the school throughout the year. There are usually 4-5 performances/activities each year. On most occasions students are charged $3.00 depending on activity. The maximum annual cost will be $40.00 per student, but is likely to be less depending on the actual cost of each activity.

Maximum cost per student: $40.00

Excursions (Kindergarten to Year 12) - The School Council recognises the value of excursions for students and seeks to support teachers who coordinate them as part of their teaching programs. Up to 2 excursions per term per class may occur. Excursions for the purposes of this document are defined as outings that do not include an overnight stay.

Maximum cost per student:

$220.00

Bus Usage - For example: Physical and Health Education transport where students travel to venue(s) such as Leisure Centre/Swimming Pool etc.


Special Academic and Sporting Camps - The maximum charge for any single event is $1800.00 per student. These events may include Country Week, Kimberley Cup, Tournament of the Minds, other Interschool Competitions, FOTS and may involve travel to Perth.

Instrumental Music - The school offers Instrumental studies for students in Years 4 – 7 on completion of Recorder Studies. Students involved in the school wind ensemble who use school instruments are charged a fee of $40 per term - $4.00/week – this covers instrument hire.

CHARGES FOR EXTRA COST OPTIONAL ITEMS: These amounts can vary from year to year. Students would only incur costs when they are involved in the particular activity. The amounts indicated would be the maximum for that activity.

Students may need to pay additional money throughout the year for activities such as class excursions, use of the Leisure Centre for swimming and sport and for visiting artists who perform at the school. These costs are kept to a minimum and are all approved by the School Council under the Contributions, Charges and Fee Schedule for KDHS.

Additional charges will be applied for students who select modules from some learning areas. See section titled CHARGES – Camps (Subject Related) and Excursions for details.

REFUND OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND CHARGES When a student transfers to another school, arrangements will be made to forward a pro-rata portion of their ‘contributions’ to their new school. Alternatively, a refund can be arranged.

PAYMENT OPTIONS All payments can be made at Reception. Parents/caregivers may consider a progressive payment option where ‘contributions’, ‘charges’ and ‘additional contributions’ can be paid off. Arrangements should be negotiated with the Principal or Business Manager.

THE SCHOOL HAS EFTPOS FACILITIES AVAILABLE IN RECEPTION AND PAYMENT BY DIRECT CREDIT IS ALSO WELCOME.

OTHER FUNDRAISING COSTS Fundraising for some Camps, Excursions and charitable collections is conducted on occasions throughout the year. Parents/Caregivers will be advised of these via the newsletter.

OPTIONAL COSTS (NON-EDUCATIONAL) These may include: graduation photographs, graduation shirts, student council fundraising, Ashton Scholastic Book Club, vacation swimming, school uniform, assembly costumes.

BOOKLIST ITEMS The Department of Education provides most text books, reading materials, and resources for student use. Parents/Caregivers are expected to provide the items shown on the ‘Booklist Items’ list – as approved by the School Council. (Consumable workbooks are a personal cost item. Text books are not included on Kindergarten to Year 10 Booklists.)

Your child will need to have the items shown on their Booklists in his/her possession each school day in order to maximise participation in the learning opportunities/activities presented. It may be necessary to replace some items such as pencils, glue etc. throughout the year. This is a parent/caregiver responsibility.

The Booklists are available and distributed in fourth term to enable parents/caregivers to order students’ requirements online or in person from Office National, Kununurra, or from a supplier of their choice. Office National orders are available all year round with no cut off dates and no late order fees and are available for collection from their store in Bandicoot Drive.

Please refer to the school website at any time to get a copy of the Booklists: http://kununurradistricthigh.com/books-lists/

SCHOOL BUDGET An annual school budget, incorporating money from parents/caregivers’ contributions and the Department of Education, is prepared and presented to the School Council. The budget reflects the needs of the school according to the School Plan.

MONEY COLLECTION Money for camps, excursion and school activities are to be paid to the child’s classroom teacher before school each morning. Please send money and returns in a sealed envelope labelled with your child’s name and classroom number. Alternatively, the Reception area has EFTPOS facilities.
