Curriculum Contributions

Dear parent/guardian,

As we get ready for another exciting year of learning and growing together in 2026, we’d like to share some information about our voluntary financial contributions.

At Ballam Park Primary School, we’re proud to offer free instruction that meets all curriculum requirements. While contributions are completely optional, the generous support from our families helps us go above and beyond for our students.

Thanks to your kindness—whether through donations, fundraising, or volunteering—we’ve been able to:

• Create engaging and well-structured classrooms
• Upgrade outdoor learning spaces
• Provide wonderful resources like art materials, musical instruments, sports equipment, and library books
• Enhance digital learning and strengthen literacy and numeracy programs

Your support truly makes a difference and helps us build a vibrant, nurturing environment where every child can thrive. We’re so grateful to be part of a community that values education and works together to make our school the best it can be.

Payment Options
To make contributions as accessible as possible, families are welcome to pay in a way that suits them best. Options include:

• In full
• Weekly, monthly or other instalments
• Via Compass including via instalments
• EFTPOS at the school office
• Centrepay (for eligible families)

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a payment plan, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We’re looking forward to another fantastic year with you!
