​

The NSW State government’s Department of Education and Communities (DEC) provides about half of our budget needs. Fees and fundraising provide the balance of the budget needs for operating expenses. Fundraising ventures are also necessary throughout the year to boost Possums’ income to help maintain and improve facilities provided to our children.

​

FEE SCHEDULE 2022

Fees are set in accordance with DECs subsidy guidelines.

 

Where income is:

Health Care Card = $8.00 per day

$40,796 to $80,000 = $22.00 per day

More than $80,000 = $27.00 per day

 

Fees are payable by the end of week 3 of each term and are calculated as a term fee, not a weekly fee.

 

Enrollment Fee
