School Charges
Contribution and Charges Breakdown for 2024
Under the provisions of the Education Act 1999, it is a requirement of schools and School Boards to indicate to parents all likely educational expenditures for the coming year. School contributions and charges comprise three elements: Voluntary Contributions, School Charges and Items for Personal Use.
Voluntary Contributions
The Woodlands Primary School Voluntary Contribution is $60.00 per child.
School Charges
School charges are the accumulated cost of your child participating in activities and events as they arise. This is not an upfront payment, rather an indication to you of the maximum possible amount you may anticipate being charged. You will only incur these charges if and when you child participates in the activities. A variety of payment options will be offered at the beginning of next year. Click on the link below for a schedule of charges for each year level. The figures listed are an estimation of the maximum possible cost based largely on amounts paid by parents and receipted by the school over the last few years.
There are a three ways you can pay for the various school fees including voluntary contributions, excursions, incursions and online learning programs like mathletics and reading eggs!
1. Direct Debit via your bank account
You can make a payment to the school by making a direct transfer of funds from your bank account into the school’s bank account.
Our school’s account details are:
| Account Name: | Woodlands Primary School |
| BSB: | 066 040 |

Please place your child’s surname and initials in the reference.
2. By EFTPOS at the front office
You can make a payment by coming into the front office with your credit/debit card.
3. Online via Compass 
Don’t Forget
Even if you pay online or at the office, if there is a permission form or payment slip attached to the event/item, this still needs to be completed and returned to your class teacher, so they can record you have paid for the event and that your child has permission to attend.
Did you know?
When you pay by direct debit online or EFTPOS at the office, you can ‘bundle’ your payments for one or several events and/or children? For example:
- You can pay for an outstanding excursion, mathletics, plus the schools voluntary contribution all in one amount

Just make sure you put the student’s surname and initials in the reference if paying online.
