There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.
Costs to consider include:
Voluntary school contributions
Like all NSW public schools, we can request contributions to enhance our educational and sporting programs including elective subjects. School contributions help provide additional educational resources for the benefit of students. Payment is voluntary.
For more information, visit the Voluntary School Contribution policy.
Voluntary School Contribution at Parkes East Public School in 2017 is $45.00 per student.
This fee covers student entry for two visiting performances, the Life Education Van, and a contribution for technology and craft.
Financial assistance
If you are unable to pay school contributions because of financial hardship, you may be eligible for assistance from the school.
Our principal will ensure no student or family suffers any discrimination or embarrassment over the inability to pay school contributions.
