The outstanding educational opportunities provided to Mac.Rob students rely on the generous contributions our families make through their voluntary parent payment contributions. This page outlines what these funds are used for, and how our families can contribute to the culture and learning of all Mac.Rob students.

➲ What are voluntary parent payment contributions?

Each year, Mac.Rob shares our annual Parent Payment Policies with all families of students in Years 9 to 12. These policies, each tailored specifically to the needs of each Year level’s curriculum, describe a wide range of learning resources, co-curricular opportunities, and supplementary items, along with a suggested amount that families may contribute towards the cost of purchasing them.

Your financial contributions make a significant difference to the programs we are able to offer our students, including the excellent teaching and learning programs, the vibrant enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities, services such as a school nurse, outstanding IT infrastructure and support, and the highly supportive wellbeing programs and staff. We make every effort to keep the cost of items and activities to a minimum and affordable for all families.

All parent payment contributions directly impact the experiences that define a Mac.Rob education, and every contribution strengthens our capacity to challenge, support, and inspire our students. Without them, our ability to deliver an exceptional educational experience is less than our exceptional students deserve.

➲ How do you make a payment contribution?

Parent Payment Policies for each Year level can be viewed at any time on the Family Portal or the school website, and payment can be made quickly and efficiently through your Compass dashboard. Contributions are able to be paid from the end of each school year and into the coming year, at your convenience.

We’ve worked hard to make sure our payment policies are as simple and economical as possible, but if you have any questions or trouble locating the payment prompt on Compass, please contact our finance team and we’ll be very glad to assist you.

➲ How do you find support?

We know that parent contributions, especially when viewed as a lump sum, can be overwhelming. To help ease the financial burden on families, our finance team can organise for contributions to be paid in instalments via a payment plan, with payments scheduled at the start of each Term.

If you would like to learn more about this payment option, please call the front office a call the Front Office on 03 9864 7700.
