Parent Payment Arrangements – 2024
Avondale Primary School is looking forward to another great year of learning and we would like to advise you of details in relation to Avondale Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024.
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian Curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Parent contributions continue to provide an important and critical source of funding which enables us to supply resources necessary to maximise successful delivery of our learning programs. The ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students.
We want to thank you for your continued support of Avondale Primary School, whether that’s through paying the voluntary contributions, fundraising, or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

Essential Learning Items are those items, activities or services that are essential to support student learning of the standard curriculum. These are items that the school considers essential for all students and which students take possession of. These include student book packs and digital subscriptions.
Optional Payments are those items, activities or services that are offered in addition to or support instruction in the standard curriculum program. These are provided on a user-pays basis so that if parents choose to access them for students, they are required to pay for them. Teachers organise these activities to enhance, support and extend the learning experience of their students, however, parents / carers decide whether they want their children to participate.Examples: school photos, camps, excursions, interschool sport, graduation, incursions and special days.
Voluntary Financial Contributions are those items and services that parents are invited to make a donation/ voluntary payment toward.
