Mount Erin College prides itself on providing excellent education opportunities for our students and looks forward to another great year of teaching and learning in 2024. I want to inform you of our College Parent Payment Policy, which requests voluntary financial contributions for 2024.

Schools provide free instruction and ensure students have free access to all items, activities and services that the school uses to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements in Victorian Curriculum F-10, VCE and VM. Extra-curricular items and activities are provided on a user-pays basis. Within our school, voluntary contributions from parent payments have allowed us to organise and coordinate rich, extensive programs outside of the traditional teaching and learning programs. We access quality learning materials and are constantly adding new material for teachers to support personalised and quality learning. Our specialist programs of Art, Performing Arts, Technology, Indonesian and Physical Education are exemplary, and your financial contributions assist us with purchasing varied art resources, musical instruments, etc. Our fantastic sports facilities and outside facilities have all been supported through our combined efforts.

As an inclusive school, ongoing and continued support from our families regarding financial contributions to our College has ensured that these opportunities are available to all students and enabled them to have a wide choice of subjects to pursue their chosen pathways.   Working with our College Board, we have ensured that our school charges remain at one of the lowest levels in the state. These programs and events are essential in providing rich learning opportunities that foster our belief in developing the whole learner.   Mount Erin College is an inclusive school where every child is supported and provided for. Your continued support has allowed us to create this environment in our College and the resources required, and students have the opportunity to thrive and pursue their wide- range of passions in state-of-the-art facilities as they move through our College and onto the next chapter of their lives. Even though fees are voluntary, we all know that any extra funding we receive enables us to provide the best possible opportunities for our students.
