In establishing the fees for 2026 both the Finance Advisory Committee and Governing Council are sensitive to the fact that some families may require assistance in meeting this commitment and therefore we are once again offering an instalment plan together with a variety of payment options.
Materials and Services Rebate
In 2026, the South Australian government is again providing a $200.00 discount per child on the M&S Charge for public school students. The discount is automatic and will be applied by the school, reducing the fee to $295.00 per student.
Accordingly, an adjustment note for $200.00 has been raised and will be allocated to your statement.
The instalment amounts set out below are reflective of the reduced amount of $295.00.
