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 2027, please contact the school office for a detailed list.
This information is about voluntary contributions you can make to support Ballam Park
Primary School for 2027 and other payments you can choose to make.
Victorian government schools provide free instruction. This means all students have free access to all
items, activities and services that schools use to deliver the curriculum, including reasonable
adjustments to support students with disability.
Some families choose to make a voluntary financial contribution to support the school, and we are very
grateful for this support. Making a voluntary contribution is your choice. There is no expectation or
pressure for families to contribute.
Ballam Park Primary School offers a range of items and activities that are additional to the free
instruction provided to all students at our school. Financial help is available for extra-curricular items and
activities if you are experiencing financial hardship (see further details under Financial Help for Families
in the attached information). For a confidential discussion about how to access the financial help
available, please contact the school office on 9789 5614 or via email at
ballam.park.ps@education.vic.gov.au
