Details
If you are a parent or carer and you are in need of financial assistance with your child’s government education, please request an appointment with the school principal, assistant principal or welfare/wellbeing coordinator to discuss your child’s requirements. The school can then place an application for assistance directly with us, on the student’s behalf.
