School Donation

What is the school donation?

School donations are considered charitable donations and are a way that parents can contribute to help fund the high-quality educational opportunities that Albany Senior High School will be delivering.

The Board of Trustees has set the annual school donation for 2009 and 2010 at $400.00 per year, per students. The decision to ask the community for a single donation is an attempt to simplify the payment process and to ensure that requests for money are as few as possible.

Will I still have to pay subject fees?

No, Albany Senior High school will not be charging separate subject fees.

Are there any areas of the specialist subjects that may incur extra costs?

For subjects such as technology and visual arts where materials are required and the finished product becomes the property of the student,  there maybe additional costs. The cost of trips where transport, food and / or acccommodation are required will also be passed on to families.

What about the cost of co-curricular (after school) activities?

Co-curricular activities will be user-pays and are not covered in the school donation process. the cost of uniforms, transport, entry / registration fees and perhaps coaches / tutors will be determined for each activity and  will be advised to the students once they indicate their interest. We will do our best to advise you of the costs as soon as possible and, wherever possible, would expect payment before each activity begins.

How can I pay the School Donation?

A range of payment options are available to suit individual circumstances. We will accept credit cards (Visa and Mastercard only), Eftpos, Internet banking and of course cash. Payments can be made annually, each term or monthly. If you would like to use internet banking please contact the school for our bank account details and the information that will need to appear on our bank statement.
