Read the below information before selecting your subjects
Subject Fees:
These fees are mandatory and go towards paying for materials consumed during the production of student work and projects i.e. food, wood, textiles, paints, canvas and so on.
All monies requested for specific subject fees are used solely for the purchase of consumable materials in those subjects. It is most important that students experience the use of a range of materials from fabrics to timbers to sheet music to provide a broad and solid foundation of learning in early secondary years. The payment of this fee provides the school with the necessary funds to purchase all the materials necessary for use by students in these subjects, taking advantage of bulk buy and GST free prices which can be obtained by the school.
Preliminary and HSC Students:
Some courses attract additional fees as a result of their use of additional consumable materials. All costs are kept to a minimum but are necessary in order to provide the materials necessary to meet the practical components of the course.
Students who elect to take these courses are required to pay for the materials and uniforms that are required to meet the course requirements.
Students who have not paid their fees or negotiated a fee paying schedule will be required to bring in all of the necessary equipment and supplies for practical lessons.
Students are unable to purchase the Year 12 Jersey or attend extra-curricular excursions such as the ski trip, International Visits, Reward Days or the Year 12 Formal unless they have paid their course fees.
Early next year staff will send home detailed information about fees payable and an expected due date.
Fees are due by Term 1, Week 4
All fees are payable to the school administration office using any of the four payment methods below.

This is a secure payment system hosted by Westpac to ensure that your credit/debit card details are captured in a secure manner and these details are not passed back to the school. Payments can be made using either a Visa, MasterCard credit or debit card. The payment page is accessed from the front page of the school’s website by selecting $ Make a payment.
Payment(s) for subject fees, school contributions, excursions, sales to students and creative and practical arts activities (these include band, drama and dance) can be made here.
There is also a category called ‘Other’: this is to cover items not covered in the previous heading. ‘Other’ can be used to make a payment of miscellaneous items e.g. overseas tours, calculators, textbooks etc. Uniform items are NOT to be paid for through the online payments system as these must be bought from the uniform shop.
