Fees may change prior to January 2025 when invoices are sent

It is a government requirement that people visiting pre-schools/kindergartens to take part in activities have a WWCC clearance. Many students in year 10 will need this for their work experience and the school assists with the processing.  This will be organised through the school, however any costs assocatied with this clearance will be invoiced to the student.

Excursions to the pre-schools/kindergartens will take place via school bus therefore excursion forms and bus travels costs will be required.

Students do need to plan and make two resources as part of their assessment, materials are provided but they may choose to bring some materials from home, this is not compulsory however.
