We understand that the cost associated with some activities beyond the core curriculum may be difficult for some families to meet at times due to financial hardship. As instruction in public schools is provided free of charge in NSW for every child, the school provides financial support in these circumstances.

We invite families who require assistance due to financial hardship to fill in this form and send it to your school or to speak confidentially with the principal or with a member of the school’s office staff. Equitable access to learning opportunities and experiences is a core principle of public education. Every reasonable endeavour will be made to accommodate this request.

Please note the second-hand uniform pool may be accessed for uniforms. Non-school based sports cannot be covered by Student Assistance. Excursions and extra-curricular activities will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For each excursion or event not listed below you need to submit an additional form.
