Contributions and Charges

Lake Gwelup Primary School

The Department of Education Contributions, Charges and Fees Manual has set the maximum contribution by parents at $60 per child from Kindergarten to Year 6.

The Lake Gwelup Primary School Board has approved the Voluntary Contribution for 2025 as $60 per child (equates to $15 per term, $1.50 per week).

Money collected will be used to supplement school expenditure on students learning experiences in the classroom. The quality of our teaching and learning program will be maximised when each family makes its contribution by supplementing funding gained from other sources, including the State and Commonwealth governments.

Families experiencing financial hardship are invited to make an appointment with the Principal to negotiate a payment plan.

The Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) has set the 2025 P&C Levy at $70 for one child and $100 for families of more than one child to supplement fundraising efforts.  For more information, contact the P&C Association: secretarylgpspandc@gmail.com.

Notes

  1. Students only incur a cost when they are involved in a particular activity.
  2. The estimated amounts indicated for each year level (K-6) represent the maximum amount that a parent / carer should anticipate being charged for activities if the student were to participate in all activities likely to be planned for that year level.
  3. The amounts collected for charges vary from year level to year level depending on the nature and range of activities undertaken.
  4. The School’s preferred methods of payment is Qkr. Parents have the option to pay their charges in the following ways:
    i    Payment of charges may be made via  Qkr App, or by direct debit into the school bank account, Lake Gwelup PS, BSB 066 040, Acct Number 19904525.  Please put your child’s name against the entry and email Julia.Lingard@education.wa.edu.au to advise of the bank deposit.
    ii   Charges can be paid in advance, in full or part paid into your child’s billing account.  As you give permission for your child to attend an activity, the cost of that activity will be withdrawn from their account by the Manager Corporate Services.  Statements are sent home regularly or you can call or email for a balance update.  The account can also be topped up throughout the year as needed.  Where pre-payment is elected, funds remaining unspent at the end of the school year can be rolled over into your child’s account or a sibling's account for the following year; refunded or donated to the school.
  5. The costs detailed above are largely based on the amounts paid by parents and receipted by the school over the last several years.
