2024 Resource Pack Dee and Voluntary Contributions
In order to ensure quality teaching and learning at Redhead Public School our 'Resource Packs' will be $35 each and will include the following classroom equipment and subscriptions to support learning of all key learning areas;
- A4 whiteboard and erasers
- Exercise books
- Art and craft supplies (e.g. paint, oil pastels, art paper, cardboard etc)
- Literacy Pro (Year 3 to 6)
- PM Onlne (Kindergarten to Year 2)
- Reslience Journals (The P&C has covered half the cost of the student's workbooks)
The school voluntary contributions for 2024 is $50 for the 1st and 2nd child and any child after that is free.
Thank you in advance for supporting our school financially. We are not a highly funded school in terms of Gonski. Our FOEI (Financial Occupational Education Index) score is out of 300 and we sit at 42. This is an indicator of the funding that a school will receive based on need from factors such as low socio-economic, rural and remote, disability and Aboriginal status.
Other expenses may include:
- excursions
- incursions (performance, life education etc)
- sport
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.
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.
