Fees and Materials Charges

Public primary schools provide free tuition for all students. Each school sets their own Materials and Services Charges based on the cost of the items and services provided to the students to undertake their curriculum for the school year. These charges are are set annually by the Governing Council at Salisbury Downs Primary School. This fee covers the cost of books, computer technology and other essential items and services used by students during the course of their study. Additional costs are incurred for students participating in excursions and other activities at school such as sporting teams.

Payments for all school fees, school excursions and uniforms can be made personally at the Front Office by cash or EFT. Other payment options include: debit card over the phone, instalment payments (weekly, fortnightly or monthly), or you can deposit directly from your Bank Account. We also offer Layby for school uniform items. To make a payment arrangement or find out more information, please contact Tanya Hopkins.

Normal school processes and policies apply to all payment methods.
