As per the Department of Education’s guidelines, it is mandatory for government schools to provide parents with comprehensive information regarding the expenses associated with their child’s education for the upcoming year. These costs encompass Voluntary Contributions, Personal Items, and Charges.
The Western Australian Government through the Department of Education provides an allowance to assist eligible families with secondary schooling costs.
Parents/guardians must apply for the Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) each school year (annually) – applications do not carry forward to future years.
To be eligible for the allowance the parent/guardian must hold a Services Australia (Centrelink) or Veterans’ Affairs card that represents a statement of income for the family.
The allowance consists of two components:
• $300 Clothing Allowance paid directly to the
parent/guardian or the school.
• $235 Education Program Allowance paid directly
to the school.
Application is made by the parent or guardian for student/s enrolled in Years 7–12 studying a full-time secondary course at a Western Australian public school.
You can download a copy of the application below, once completed please return to our Admin building along with relevant proof of ID and required documents.
