Money Matters
Parent Payments
School Councils are responsible for developing and approving school-level parent payment charges and can request payments from parents under three categories only – Curriculum Contributions, Other Contributions, and Extra Curricular Items and Activities.
Curriculum Contributions
Voluntary financial contributions for curriculum items and activities which the school deems necessary for students to learn the Curriculum.
Educational items for students to own.
In order to assist families, EEPS offers a service to parents to purchase student stationery items through an external provider. These items can be ordered online via winc.com.au and using the school specific access key.
Other Contributions
Voluntary financial contributions for non-curriculum items and activities that relate to the school’s functions and objectives such as EEPS Kitchen garden and ICT Infrastucture.
Other Voluntary Contributions
Building Fund
Parents and carers are also welcome to make specific voluntary contributions towards continuing improving our buildings and grounds through our Building fund.
Donations to the building fund may be claimed as a deduction for income tax purposes.
Donation to Library Fund
Parents and carers are also welcome to make specific voluntary contributions towards updating and extending the supply of high quality literature and reference materials available to our students in our Library.
Donations to the library fund may be claimed as a deduction for income tax purposes.
Extra Curricular Items and Activities
Eltham East Primary School offers a range of items and activities that enhance or broaden the schooling experience of students and are above and beyond what the school provides in order to deliver the Curriculum. These items include additional curriculum related excursions, incursions, whole-school events. Examples include; a puppet incursion, a visit to the Melbourne Museum, Japanese Studies Day and concert. These charges are communicated via Compass towards the beginning of the new school year. These are provided on a user-pays basis. If you would like to purchase an item or activity for your child, please indicate this on Compass and arrange to make the payments as desired.
