The Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) is available to assist eligible families with secondary schooling costs for students in Years 7 to 12.  This allowance consists of two components:

• $235 Education Program Allowance paid directly to the school
• $115 Clothing Allowance paid to the parent or the school

Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) is available to holders of Centrelink Health Care, Pensioner Concession or Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Cards who meet the eligibility criteria.

Applications forms can be downloaded below.  Applications for Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) can be made in person at the school by the cardholder, or emailed through to willetton.SHS.Finance@education.wa.edu.au, provided the applicant includes a copy of both sides of their concession card with their application.  Applications close on Thursday 28 March 2024.  

The Education Program Allowance ($235) is paid directly to the school and applied to program charges in the first instance, with any residual to be applied to Voluntary Contributions for Years 7-10.  For those parents/guardians who elect to direct their Uniform Allowance ($115) to the school, these funds will also be deducted from the compulsory charges first and then voluntary contributions for Years 7-10.

Parents must apply for Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) each school year (annually) – applications do not carry forward to future years.

Willetton SHS is aware that the payment of C&VC can be a burden for some families. Therefore, families experiencing financial difficulties/hardship are urged to make contact with the Finance Office as soon as possible to discuss payment plan options.  Disregarding accounts and reminders is unhelpful to all parties and prevents the school from being able to assist you.

Please contact the Finance office by emailing Willetton.SHS.Finance@education.wa.edu.au or by telephoning 9334 7200.

Voluntary Contributions – Years 7 to 10

The maximum contribution that can be requested of parents towards the cost of a standard educational program which satisfies the requirements of the curriculum framework in Years 7-10 is $235. Recipients eligible to receive Secondary Assistance Scheme have the $235 deducted from the voluntary contributions in line with government policy.

Compulsory Charges – Years 7 to 10

Electives vary in cost from approximately $5 to $250. If the more expensive electives are chosen, Charges and Voluntary Contributions are likely to be greater than $235. Expensive electives are termed extra cost optional components. Where extra cost optional components are selected, an additional compulsory charge will apply. The school may ask for a 50% confirmation charge for high cost electives.

Extra cost optional components refer to;

• elective courses of study which have a high cost associated with provision, such as high cost electives in Specialist programs
• enrichment activities in any course for which there is a high cost associated with their provisions, such as excursions, camps
• Other optional school-based activities which address broad learning outcomes and for which there is a high cost, such as school and social events
• Yearbook

Participation in the above components is voluntary but a compulsory charge is payable if the student participates.

Compulsory Charges – Years 11 & 12

In Years 11 and 12 all course charges are compulsory.

Recipients eligible to receive the Secondary Assistance Scheme will have the $235 deducted from the Charges. Charges for all courses are compulsory. The school may ask for a 50% confirmation charge for high cost courses to assist with planning of timetables and the deployment of staff.

There may be additional optional extra costs for;

• enrichment activities in any course such as excursions or camps
• other optional school-based activities which address broad learning outcomes and for which there is a high cost, such as school and social events such as graduation dinners or schoolballs
• Yearbook

As mandated by government legislation, a set $235 Voluntary Contribution course of study is available to students in Years 7 to 10 (exceptions being certain visa categories).  Extra cost optional courses outside the set $235 core program incur additional charges.  Charges relate to items that students utilise over and above that which are supplied by the Department of Education.
