LEVIES, TEXTBOOK HIRE, EQUIPMENT, IT CHARGES

The Parents & Citizens Association has approved that a Texbook and Equipment Hire Scheme operate at Moura High. Participation in the scheme will generally minimise parental costs. As the cost of things like text books can be spread across several years of use and also allows everyone to gain the benifits of bulk purchases.

This means that the school will provide books and resources directly to those students who join the scheme. Membership is voluntary.

The scheme has three financial components.

1. Texbook Allowance 2. General services component 3. Elective Fees

There continues to be a growing emphasis on technology usage for all within our school. Some Internet usage is included in our offer of services for all students.

TEXTBOOK ALLOWANCE

The school is automatically paid an allowance by the government for each student enrolled at the school. Allowances are as follows:

Year 8, 9, 10 $95

Year 11 & 12 $209

If parents are not part of the scheme it can be arranged that the textbook allowance be paid directly to them and all texbooks purchased independently.
