Parent Contributions

Parent Contributions

At Truganina South Primary School, the child is at the centre of all we do. We collaborate to support student wellbeing and learning, preparing our students for happy and successful futures. We are committed to providing the very best education for all our students.

In Term 4, School Council reviews and sets the Parent Contributions for the coming year. Council is always mindful of finding the right balance between minimising the financial impact to families whilst ensuring that our school continues to deliver holistic, robust and enriching educational programs for our students.

Parent Contribution information is distributed to families no later than the first week of November each year.

Our school is partnering with Paperchase as our preferred supplier of student book packs. We are confident that you will find Paperchase to be value for money, however parents are welcome to seek out comparable quotes from other suppliers if they wish.
