There are some costs associated with going to school that you may find it helpful to plan and budget for.
Costs to consider include:
uniforms
school books and equipment
excursions
- co-curricular activities.
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.
While the state government gives each school a grant, there is usually a gap between that amount and what is regarded as anticipated expenditure. Any shortfall must be met by other means, and these are, of course, by fundraising and ‘school fees'.
It is important that the school receives the support of parents in a financial and volunteer capacity to enable the school to continue delivering a full range of programs.
Please lend your support. Fee payments can be made at the office.
Lismore South Public School requests the following yearly contributions.
- One student – $30
- Two students – $50
- Three students – $60
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.
