16 th November 2016 Dear Family
In accordance with the School Education Regulations 2000, I am required to inform you of the financial costs you can expect for your child’s schooling throughout 2017. Also in keeping with these Regulations, this Schedule of Contributions and Charges was presented to and endorsed by the East Butler School Board in October 2016.
This Schedule is presented in three sections so that you are able to have a clear understanding of these costs.
Section 1 of this schedule does not apply to those students who pay full fees in accordance with the conditions of their Australian entry visa. Visa holders that fees are applicable to are advised to contact Education and Training International (ETI), a group that manages fee paying students on behalf of the Department of Education.
In 2016, the School Contribution is $60 per child. This is a ‘one-off’ payment. Money collected will be used to supplement expenditure in the areas listed below. Payment of the School Contribution is voluntary, however the areas listed below will be enhanced if each family makes its contribution.
Purchase of Reading resources Maths resources ICT equipment
You are encouraged to pay the School Contribution as early as possible in 2017, as this assists considerably with planning the school’s budget and making decisions about purchases in three areas listed. East Butler School Board is very keen to see the average voluntary contribution collection rate of 57% be significantly improved upon in 2016.
2. CHARGES FOR EXTRA OPTIONAL COMPONENTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
As has been the case this year, your child will continue to be offered opportunities to participate in a range of school activities and events. Some of these may involve a payment being requested from you. Those events that your child may be offered the opportunity to participate in, and the anticipated costs of the event, are outlined in the following table. I’d like to make you aware of these points:
You will only incur a payment if your child is involved in a particular event or activity. U:\east_butler_ps\2016_11_17\3\docs\schedule_of_contributions_and_charges_2017.doc
Like this year, if a payment is to be requested, this shall be done for the activity/event as it approaches - this is a ‘pay as you go’ system. A note or letter will usually be sent home that describes the activity, requests the payment and seeks your consent for your child to participate.
Those amounts set out in the table are the anticipated maximum costs for the activity/event and this maximum amount may not have to be requested in all situations.
The figure shown for the year for Incursions and Excursions is a total; for example, if you have a child in Year 6, you can expect that maximum total you would pay for your child to participate in Excursions during 2017 is $50.
significant number of activities and events at no cost to families, as the school makes the commitment to heavily subsidize as many activities as possible. Our aim is for all students to participate in every activity. Description K PP

Additionally, other activities may arise from time-to-time that your child may be offered that are conducted during school time, with my approval, and the cost involved goes to the body or group organizing the event. Examples in this area include: Competitions where there is a fee payable to enter (for example Westpac Maths Competition with a $5 entry fee or PEAC testing for Year 4 students- $1.50). School photos (average price around $15 for packages).
U:\east_butler_ps\2016_11_17\3\docs\schedule_of_contributions_and_charges_2017.doc ‘Free Dress’ days, where a gold coin donation may be collected for a particular charity. Activities such as cake raffles conducted at recess and lunch times (tickets are 20c each, 3 for 50c or 6 for $1). Book Fair, where you may purchase books for your child (average price around $15). Book Club - brochures are sent home regularly for these; costs will vary. Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC) courses for eligible Years 5-6 students. Activities associated with particular school programs (for example the School Chaplain’s Operation Christmas Child). Also, after school activities such as sports programs that may be presented by a local sporting club (for example dancing). Costs will vary. School of Instrumental Music (SIM) - In 2017, selected students will be offered the opportunity to learn an instrument through free lessons offered by a SIM tutor. If families exercise this option, the student is required to purchase a guitar. School play, production or event where there is a cost for tickets.
Your child’s Personal Items List for 2017 was distributed in Term 4. This list outlines the items that your child will require that are considered essential (for example; pencils, pens, glue, ruler) and those items that are recommended but not essential; these are listed in the box headed ‘Parents Are Requested To Supply’.
Campion offer this personal items list service on behalf of the school. The prices for materials provided by Campion are competitive but you are under no obligation whatsoever to use this service.
Your child will need to have the listed materials each school day and as a number of these are consumable, it may be necessary to replace some of these items throughout the year. You can also, if you choose, pay the School Contribution of $60 per child at this time. Campion collect this on the school’s behalf.
I trust that this schedule assists you to develop a full understanding of the potential costs associated with your child’s schooling throughout 2017. I’d welcome your questions and be pleased to clarify any issues you may have.
I look forward to your continued strong support of our fantastic school as we enter our tenth year of operation in 2017.
Yours sincerely
