Governing Council Meeting - Material & Services Charge 2026 Discussion

Posted on October 03, 2025

Dear Parents, Caregivers, and Independent Students,

We are writing to inform you about the Materials & Services charge for 2026. This fee is charged to families to cover the costs of items and services provided to students, facilitating their completion of the curriculum. Please note that this charge does not include staff costs, teacher resources, facilities costs, or school operating expenses such as utilities.

Our fees are set at the minimum prescribed amounts: $306 for R-6 and $403 for 7-12. For the 2025 school year, an additional $200 reduction in the Materials and Services charge has been applied due to the State Government's cost-of-living support initiative. As a result, the school fees will be $106 for R-6 and $203 for 7-12.

Please find the link for the verified Materials & Services notice for the upcoming year. We invite you to join the Governing Council meeting on 5th of November 2025, at 8:00 p.m. to discuss the charge before it is finalised. To obtain the meeting link, please contact Executive Services via email at executiveservices.oac758@schools.sa.edu.au.

If you’re unable to attend, you may share your views in writing with Leah Beard, Chairperson of the Governing Council. For these details, please feel free to reach out to Executive Services at the same email address.
