Contributions and Charges

The cost of schooling, including instruction, administration, and the maintenance of facilities, is primarily funded by the government. Under the Education Act 1999, schools are permitted to supplement this funding through voluntary contributions and charges to enhance the educational experiences provided to students.

At Southern Grove Primary School, parents and carers are invited to contribute $60 per child.
