Fees
Coffs Harbour Senior College is a NSW Government School, providing education for students in Years 11 and 12. Families are asked to make a general contribution to the college, which will help to pay for additional resources and equipment for use by students. Read on for more information about fees charged at the College.
General College Contributions
With the agreement of this college’s community it is intended to seek from parents and guardians a General College Contribution. Funds raised through this contribution will be used to supplement educational resources and programs in our college.
It is stressed that payment of the General College Contribution is a matter for decision by individual parents and guardians and is entirely voluntary. Our college would welcome your contribution as this will significantly enhance the resources made available to students.
The funds generated by the General College Contribution will be retained by the college and may be supplemented by other college activities and funds raised by parent organisations for the benefit of students.
Set out below are details of our General College Contribution and an outline of the manner in which funds may be expended. The College will use the funds raised for:
- additional resources and course materials
- examination papers and student reports
- consumables and photocopying
- Awards and Certificates
- newsletters and notices
- Course and Assessment Handbooks
- technology and software
- sport equipment and resources for student use
