Ballam Park Primary School supplies all curriculum items in bulk, distributing them directly to students in the classroom to ensure everyone has the same materials as specified by the teacher. If you would prefer to purchase these items for your child in 2025, please contact the school office for a detailed list.
Dear parent/guardian,
Ballam Park Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of the voluntary financial contributions for 2025.
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements, and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. We would like to remind you that each student has access to a one-time $400.00 fund, which can be used to help cover costs associated with camps, excursions, and uniforms. This support is aimed at reducing some of the financial burden that these activities may present.
Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. Whether through fundraising efforts or volunteering your time, your contributions have made a huge difference to our school, allowing us to enhance our programs and improve the learning environment. Your support has enabled us to organise the best possible classroom structures and even upgrade some of our outdoor learning areas.
Financial contributions have been vital in allowing us to purchase art supplies, music items, physical education equipment, and library resources. They also provide valuable digital learning opportunities and help us focus on key areas like literacy and numeracy every day.
While the $400 fund helps with camps, excursions, and uniforms, any additional amount you can find to support the purchase of curriculum materials would be extremely helpful. Your generosity ensures that we can continue providing exceptional educational resources for all our students.
We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to working together for another successful year.

Yours sincerely,
Peita Cooper – Principal (Acting) Michaela Keating – School Council President
