2020 School Levy Payments
Thank you to the families who have made levy payments and commenced payment plans for 2020. School levy payments contribute to the cost of your child's education program and includes stationery, learning materials, performances and excursions.
There is an expectation that levy payments will be finalised by the end of Term 1 - Friday 10 April 2020.
Payment of levies and charges can be made by cash or credit card at the school office, Bpay, Bpoint, Service Tasmania and Qkr!.
Please make time to speak with the School Business Manager, Rhonda Turner, if you are experiencing difficulty in affording the levy charge. A levy instalment plan including Centrepay is available to parents/carers who are unable to make a full payment. Instalment plans offer flexible, sensitively negotiated payment options to assist parents/carers to budget for this cost. Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, monthly or at other agreed times after payment of an affordable deposit.
The Student Assistance Scheme (STAS) is available for parents/carers who meet the criteria of an income test. Families approved for STAS are not required to pay levies but may be required to pay other charges eg. Year 6 camp, leavers activities and clothing. If you feel that you may be eligible or if your personal circumstances have changed please see the shool office for an application form or download at: https://www.educaton.tas.gov.au/Documents/Student-Assistance-Scheme-Application-Form.pdf
The gross, taxable income test (STAS) for the purpose of assessing a family's eligibility for STAS in 2020 is as follows:
