Parent Contributions and Stationary Packs
Great Ryrie Primary School (GRPS) is looking forward to another exciting year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of our voluntary financial contributions for 2027. At GRPS, our unwavering commitment to excellence drives us to continuously innovate our educational programs, tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of each of our students. We take great care to keep the costs associated with various school items and activities as low as possible, ensuring affordability for all parents in our community.
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.
Great Ryrie Primary School offers a range of items and activities that are additional to the free instruction provided to all students at our school.
The School Council is appreciative of your contributions, which have enabled us to provide outstanding facilities and resources for our students such as:
- Pens, paper, additional supplies for classroom activities, classroom books and readers
- Classroom furniture
- Art, Lote, PE and the Performing Arts resources
- Maintenance of our school grounds and improvements to play areas
- Repairs to Audio visual equipment, TVs in classrooms
- First Aid materials
- Library enhancements including the latest books
- Many other materials that assist us run our high-quality programs.
We look forward to the upcoming year with optimism and enthusiasm, knowing that with your support, we can continue to achieve excellence in education.
Under the Department of Education and Training's Parent Payments Policy, Victorian government schools are required to provide transparent information to their school community on voluntary parent contributions.
