School Fees

Preston Girls Secondary College makes every effort to keep the cost and number of items that need to be purchased to a minimum. We also try to ensure that the costs are affordable for all parents. If you will have difficulty making payments please make an appointment to speak to Elizabeth Lukovska (Business Manager) to discuss possible support options and flexible payment arrangements. We guarantee that any information about your financial circumstances, payment arrangements or status will be kept strictly confidential.

Payments can be made to the Preston Girls Secondary College General Office between 8.30am & 4.30pm. The School provides a range of payment options including credit card, direct debit via credit card, cash and cheque. Statements are sent via mail and this will provide a current record of outstanding subject levies and extra charges eg, school fees, camps, excursions.

Essential education items

These are items or services provided by the school that are essential for your child’s standard curriculum schooling. Parents/guardians are expected to pay for these items themselves e.g. College Diary, ID cards, reports, first aid, awards, and computer maintenance.
A number of subjects have fees attached to them as they include materials that the student takes possession of, including text books and student stationery and/or materials for learning and teaching where the student consumes or takes possession of the finished articles (e.g. home economics, art, photography, visual communication).
