VOLUNTARY SCHOOL
CONTRIBUTIONS
935. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Education and
Training:
I
refer to the voluntary fee system for state government schools in Western Australia.
Will the minister please advise the total amount collected from parents
in 2019–20?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The total for voluntary
contributions collected from schools for the 2019–20 financial year was
$13 316 213. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, principals were advised to
suspend follow-up actions for outstanding contributions, charges and fees for
most of term 1 and all of term 2.
