The Materials and Services charge is an amount charged to parents for the cost of items and services such as stationery, art supplies, texts etc. 

Each year the fee is reviewed by the Finance Committee and presented to Governing Council (GC) for approval.  For 2020, Council has approved a $5 increase per student.

The Governing Council must also consider whether this entire fee is voluntary or legally recoverable.  For it to become legally recoverable the school community needs to be polled to find out if the majority support this.  As per previous years, the GC has endorsed making it legally recoverable to ensure we can provide a quality program for our students.  

In the coming week, a notice will be issued asking you to vote on this issue. 

If you would like any further information please or feel free to contact Liz or myself.

*Please note that there is no effect on School card families who will still receive the same benefit.
