Background
All students in Victorian government schools must have free access to instruction that is offered by a school to fulfil the curriculum requirements in the eight key learning areas of the Victorian Curriculum F-10, the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). School councils can only request payments from parents under 3 categories:
- Essential Student Learning Items
- Optional Items
- Voluntary Contributions
Princes Hill Secondary College adheres to the department Parent Payments Policy which outlines the ways in which school councils can request payments or voluntary contributions from parents and ensures that parent payment practices in schools are consistent, transparent and that all children have access to the standard curriculum.
