Refund Policy

​​​Refund Policy and Guidelines

Throughout the year, Gogango State School provides students with the opportunity to participate in a​ variety of extra-curricular activities such as excursions, field trips, sporting events, and cultural activities. All extra-curricular activities aim to enhance students' educational experiences and are planned with minimal cost and parent approval.

Under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006, state schools can charge fees for services such as these. The fees charged by the school for each service are calculated on a cost rec​ove​ry basis only. 

​Extra-Curricular Activities and Excursions

​School fees for extra-curricular activities are calculated according to the number of students who have indicated their attendance. Participation of students in an extra-curricular activity is indicated through:

• payment of a fee, and

• provision of a permission form completed by the parent/carer.

A parent may request a refund for any payments made for extra-curricular activities where a student will not subsequently participate by:

• completing the Request for Refund Form.pdf form and,
  

• providing a copy of the receipt of payment for the extra-curricular activity.

The decision as to whether the school will or not refund the payment in part or in full depends on whether the school has incurred any costs associated with the activity.

Where possible, we prefer to credit the refundable amount against the student's account at the school, and use it to offset any future charges.
