Westall Secondary College relies and appreciates the financial commitment made by all parents to meet some of the costs of their children’s education. The costs are met jointly by:-

1. The State Government through the Student Resource Package and special purpose grants. 2. Family Contributions through Essential Education Items and Voluntary contributions.

In 2018 the Essential Education Items charge, as set by the College Council, is $270. This is used to-wards the provision of essential educational materials and resources to the students, which are beyond the services for which the government provides funds. The second type of charge is a specific Subject/Elective Charge that is used for materials activities and equipment that are required for a specific subject/elective beyond the scope of Government funds. (refer to itemised subject charges list) Camps and Excursions attended by students throughout the year incur an additional cost. Students who select to participate in the Instrumental Music Program will be required to pay specified charges for the hire and use of instruments.

Families are invited to donate a Voluntary contribution (eg. $10, $20, $30, $50 ) into the school’s

building fund which is used towards the improvement of school facilities. This donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

School Council is offering the following options for payment of the 2018

Charges and Contributions:

Option A: Full amount at the beginning of Term 1

Option B: Payment at the beginning of each Term (4 Instalments)

Option C: Half yearly payment : beginning of Terms 1 & 3 (2 instalments)
