Education Allowances—EMA<br />
Education Maintenance Allowance is a Government assistance scheme for<br />
which you may be eligible. If you hold a Commonwealth Government<br />
Health Care Card you may be eligible for the Education Maintenance Allowance.<br />
Please check with the office staff if you think you may be eligible.<br />
Excursions and Incursions<br />
Parental permission is essential before children attend excursions. If a<br />
note is not returned prior to an excursion your child will not be able to<br />
attend. Excursion costs are covered by the Curriculum Levy outlined on<br />
the annual fee account.<br />
Excursions and Incursions are designed to enhance the learning that is<br />
occurring in classrooms.<br />
Before and After <strong>School</strong> Care<br />

Victoria and operates on our school premises.<br />

Student Banking<br />
Children are encouraged to bank regularly through the school each Monday.<br />
Our school banks with the Catholic Development Fund. The banking<br />
procedures are run by volunteer parents and senior students. The Catholic<br />
Development Fund has been established to assist Catholic <strong>School</strong>s and<br />
Parishes within the Diocese and has been of considerable assistance in the<br />
establishment of <strong>Mary</strong> MacKillop <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Personal Property<br />
The school will not be held responsible for electronic games, toys or<br />
other devices that are brought to school. If a child does bring such items<br />
to school he/she will be asked to put it in a safe place in the classroom<br />
until the end of the school day. It is preferable that such items are left at<br />
home. While care will be taken at school, no responsibility will be accepted<br />
by the school for personal property which is lost or damaged.
