Information relating to school revenues, including voluntary contributions by parents, fees that may be charged by schools, and textbook and resource schemes run by schools.

School financial data is collected once a year for the period 1 June to 31 May. The Department does not currently collect "calendar year" information. The data provided in the attached includes collections from parents for:

• Other Contributions, Extra Curricular Activities, and School Trading income- This includes camps, performances, excursions, book club collections etc as well as other school trading activities including facilities hire.
• Textbook and resource scheme collections. This scheme is run by most high schools and provides all textbooks and materials needed for core curriculum. Many schemes include charges for materials (cooking ingredients, woodwork materials and the like, where students keep the finished product). The department does not separate these charges from the Textbook Scheme collections. Parents of secondary school students are provided a grant to offset the cost of textbooks. If a parent does not wish to participate in the Textbook Scheme the grant is paid to parents to offset the cost of textbooks. The grant in 2010 was $102 for Year 8 through Year 10 and $225 for Years 11 and 12. The Textbook and Resource Scheme is approved by the P and C at the individual school.
• Voluntary contributions are sometimes requested from parents to assist the school in covering costs for items such as workbooks, tissues and pencils. The school provides such consumables in bulk, providing savings to parents. Any voluntary contributions are approved by the P and C at the individual school.

NOTE: Data under these categories is based on school recordings against particular cost centres and there may be some data quality issues associated with this information across more than 1200 sites. There are also gaps in the data in some cases which cannot be adjusted due to constraints in the financial system used by the Schools."
