Voluntary Contributions
The voluntary contribution for Year 7, 8 and 9 students is $235.00. All contributions and charges assist in providing an educational program that meets the requirements of the Curriculum Framework and complies with the guidelines issued by the Department of Education and the School Education Act (1999) WA. Additional charges for extra cost options (including camps) will be approved by the Bob Hawke College Board and communicated to parents before the end of each school year.
Extra Cost Options
In addition to the core curriculum, the College will provide opportunities for additional activities and experiences. Participation in these components is conditional on payment of the costs. These charges cover activities such as excursions, camps, extra-curricula tuition not provided by Department staff and elective courses with high cost materials or services. View the Extra Cost Options Schedule which details the upper limit of extra costs we may charge dependent on the planned activities taking place. You do not need to pay these charges until you receive notification of the option.
Financial Assistance
We understand some families may need some support in making payments to the College. Payment plans and direct debit arrangements can be arranged to spread the cost across an extended period of time. Additionally, the Department of Education provides an allowance to assist eligible families with secondary schooling costs. Please contact the Manager Corporate Services to discuss your needs.
How to pay
We think making payments should be easy so we have provided the following options:
- pay your Voluntary Contribution directly through your Compass Parent Portal immediately using Visa or Mastercard;
- call us to pay by Visa or Mastercard.
