FUNDRAISING

All parents participate in our fundraising raffle, drawn in Term 3. For more information click here.

SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP

Current membership of the Society is a pre-requisite for enrolment in the School.

ENROLMENT BOND

The Enrolment Bond is payable when a child is allocated a place, and refundable when the child completes either the 3-6 Pre Primary cycle, the 5-12, or the 6-12 Primary cycle.

BUILDING FUND

Building fund contributions are sought from all families at the school and are essential to the future of the school. The school operates using your fees and government grants (27% of our funding). The Building Fund contributions, due to their tax deductible status, must be spent on capital works to maintain and improve the buildings of the school. The Fund is separately accounted for and audited every year.

Families in the past have contributed generously to the Fund, enabling the following projects to be undertaken and resulting in the wonderful facilities our children enjoy today.

2007	Purchased land adjacent to school. Upgraded disabled access facilities at our Stepping Stones site.
2006	Replaced all playground equipment at both Northside and Stepping Stones campuses and resurfaced all school equipment previously treated with CCA chemicals. Multipurpose facility for languagues and music rebuilt and renovated. Toilet facilities for the 9 to 12 year-olds upgraded and refreshed.
2005	Stepping Stones gardens and playground redesigned and landscaped. Library, science laboratory and replacement of floor coverings for the 9-12 classes.
2004	Jacaranda Building constructed to house 3 classrooms, library, kitchen, staff room and storage.
2003	Stepping Stones buildings repainted.
2002	Installed all-weather soccer pitch.

We would like to continue to maintain and upgrade the facilities, so that current and future families of the school can enjoy, as we have, the Northside Montessori facilities.

Donations to the building fund may attract a tax deduction under 2.1.10 of the table in section 30-25 (1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Individual circumstances may differ.
