Brighton Primary School

Introduction
At Brighton Primary School, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning
environment for students, staff and volunteers. This commitment includes the health and safety of
staff and students when conducting curriculum activities in the school or in other locations.
State schools are able to charge a fee for:
 An educational service including materials and consumables not defined as instruction,
administration and facilities for the education of the student;
 An education service purchased from a provider other than the school where the provider charges
the school; and
 A specialised educational program.
Camps and Excursions
A school fee is directed to the purpose for which it is charged.
School fees for excursions, camps and swimming are calculated on a cost recovery only basis,
according to the number of students who have indicated their attendance.
Participation of students in an excursion, camp and swimming is indicated through payment and
provision of a permission form completed by the parent/carer.
As the school budget cannot meet any shortfalls in funding for an excursion, camp and swimming
due to the subsequent non-participation of a student who had previously indicated attendance of the
activity, fees already paid may be refunded in full or in part or not at all, having regard to the
associated expenses incurred and the circumstances of the non-participation.
a) Where the school is charged for the provision of a program or service as a bulk cost and not per
head cost, no refund is able to be given.
b) Where a per head fee is charged refunds may be able to be given.
NB. Refunds are given for accident or illness only.
a) However to cover the cost of holding deposits for bookings all students will pay a non-refundable
deposit of $50.00 for camps.
If a parent/carer wishes to apply for a refund due to their child’s non-participation in an excursion or
camp activity, they may do so by completing a Request for Refund form available from the school
office and attaching the medical certificate.
Where possible, the request should include the receipt relating to the payment for which a refund is
being sought.
