Parent Contributions

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian Curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. However, Cheltenham Secondary College requires the ongoing support of our families to ensure our college can continue to offer the best education and wellbeing for all our students. 

Voluntary contributions help fund additional programs, resources, and facilities beyond government funding, such as additional classroom materials, wellbeing initiatives such as an Engagement officer and Social workers, sporting equipment, activities and additional staffing such as our Sports coordinator, campus improvements such as our half basketball court ensuring a richer, more supportive day-to-day learning experience.

This year, we’re excited about our new building works. We also plan to redevelop the space between the gym and new learning area into a vibrant sporting precinct with all-weather courts, along with tiered and under-cover seating used for lessons, recess and lunchtime. As this project isn’t funded by the Department or State government, contributions to our tax-deductible building fund will help make these a reality.
