Service

To provide additional resources for education beyond those provided from government sources, it is necessary to raise some funds by levying service contributions on all pupils. Contributions cover additional costs of classroom equipment, sporting materials, textbooks and library books. These contributions have always been kept to an absolute minimum.

• The servide contribution and elective contributions are payable from the beginning of the year, and should be paid to the Office Administration. Receipts for all contributions are issued. These are Tax Deductable and you are generally allowed to claim up to 50% of your child's school expenses. Read a quick overview from the ATO (pdf)
• Payments by installment can be arranged if required. Contact the Office Administration...
• Where cases of genuine hardship exist, the matter should be discussed with the Principal by interview, or in writing.

Elective Subjects
When a student elects to study in years 9, 10, 11 and 12, a course which requires the use of expendable materials: ie Food Technology, Information Software Technology, Industrial Technology Metal, Industrial Techonology Timber, Textiles and Design and Visual Arts, the cost of materials used must be met by the students. Note: Pupils should make certain that these costs can be met. Contributions for these courses need to be paid in the first two weeks of each semester.
Sporting Costs
These vary with the sport chosen. Costs to be met could include bus fares, court hire, green fees, balls etc. Parents and pupils should be aware of these when sporting choices are made.
Excursion Costs
Eden Marine High School has organised travelling and expenses for 1000's of excursions. All costs relating to excursions must be met by the students concerned. Every endeavour will be made to keep these costs to a minimum by obtaining group concessions and other bulk discounts.
Textbooks
The school provides textbooks for student use through government funds and school contributions. These are issued as necessary throughout the school year. Any book lost or damaged must be paid for. Replacements will not be issued until this is done.
