Contributions, Charges and Payments

At Mount Lawley Senior High School, we are committed to providing students with high-quality educational opportunities and learning experiences.

While the State Government funds staffing, facilities and the core resources required to deliver the Western Australian Curriculum, Voluntary Contributions and Charges enable the school to enhance educational programs through additional resources, specialised equipment, technology, consumable materials and learning experiences that benefit all students.

The school is committed to keeping costs as low as possible while ensuring students have access to quality programs and resources.

Compulsory Charges and Voluntary Contributions

The School Board has approved a voluntary contribution of $235 per student for students in Years 7 to 10, in accordance with Department of Education policy. These contributions assist the school to provide additional learning resources, library materials, digital technologies and classroom consumables that support teaching and learning across all learning areas.

Some courses, specialist programs and activities incur costs in addition to the voluntary contribution. These are compulsory charges and apply only where students participate in optional educational programs or activities that require additional resources, consumable materials, equipment, transport, venue hire or other services.

For students in Years 11 and 12, course charges are compulsory and vary according to the subjects selected. Charges are based on the actual cost of materials, resources and services required to deliver each course.

Parent Information Package

Our Parent Information Package contains all the essential information about fees and charges for different subjects, programs and other related topics.

Payment Options

Payments can be made using any of the following methods:

  • Credit or Debit Card (Visa and Mastercard accepted)

  • Direct Deposit using internet banking (please use your child’s full name as the payment reference)

  • BPOINT Online Payments using the secure online payment facility

  • Payment Plans, which can be arranged by contacting the Manager Corporate Services

  • Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) for eligible families (information regarding eligibility and applications is available on the school website)

Secondary Assistance Scheme

The Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) provides financial assistance to eligible families with students enrolled in Years 7 to 12.

The scheme is available to parents or guardians who hold one of the following concession cards:

  • Services Australia Health Care Card
  • Pensioner Concession Card
  • Department of Veterans' Affairs Pensioner Concession (Blue) Card

Applications should be completed and submitted to the school as early as possible during Term 1.

The Secondary Assistance Scheme includes:

  • Education Program Allowance (paid directly to the school)
  • Clothing Allowance (paid either to the parent or guardian or directly to the school)

Where paid directly to the school, the Education Program Allowance is applied to compulsory course charges first, followed by voluntary contributions. Families may also choose to have the Clothing Allowance paid directly to the school, where it will be allocated to compulsory charges before any remaining balance is applied to voluntary contributions.

For further information or to determine your eligibility, please contact the Administration Office.
