As required by the department, the Governing Council has reviewed the Material and Services (M and S) Charge for the 2024 school year and recommended that Charge is set at $460 – an increase of $10 from last year.
The Materials and Services (M and S) Charge contributes to the cost of providing essential items and services used or consumed by individual students during the course of their learning. This includes printed and electronic materials, access to books, stationery supplies, curriculum materials, printing and copying for use in the educational program, library and information technology resources.
The M and S Charge also covers the cost of several school incursions including Footsteps, Book Week and Performing Arts.
The increase of $10 in the M and S Charge is necessary to ensure that our school can continue to offer high-quality educational resources and services that directly benefit our students’ learning experiences.
We believe that the annual M and S Charge represents great value at just over $11 per student / school week.
The amount and composition of the M and S Charge for 2024 is set out below.
