As a state-integrated school some of our building and grounds are funded, insured and maintained independently of government funding. To keep our service financially sustainable, of a high quality and reflecting the special character and philosophy of Michael Park, annual contributions for children of school age fall into three categories:
We request that parents actively support the special character and philosophy by agreeing to pay the donations (outlined below) and the compulsory attendance dues.
In addition, before commencement, there is a one-off request to support the development of Michael Park School.
Donations are tax deductible and are requested at the beginning of the year.
