Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard curriculum requirements, and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Kalinda Primary School is committed to delivering an exceptional educational experience for every student. As we prepare for the 2026 school year, we invite families to consider making a voluntary financial contribution to support our programs and resources.

While core curriculum instruction is provided free of charge, voluntary contributions significantly enhance what we can offer. Your support directly impacts the quality and breadth of learning opportunities available to our students.

Why Your Contribution Matters:

• Enhanced Learning Resources: Access to up-to-date materials and technologies that support literacy, numeracy, and digital learning.
• Specialist Programs: Continued excellence in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Japanese, PE, and STEM through well-equipped learning spaces and resources.
• Enrichment Opportunities: Choir, productions, sports events, community nights, clubs, and wellbeing programs such as Rock and Water, robotics, and gardening.
• Facilities Improvement: Ongoing upgrades to playgrounds, sports ovals, and outdoor learning environments.

These contributions help us tailor learning to individual needs, foster creativity, and build a vibrant school community. Every dollar makes a difference — whether through a one-time payment or a flexible instalment plan.

This year, we’ve reduced the requested amounts across most year levels, ensuring contributions remain accessible to all families.

Please find below our parent payment arrangements for 2026. More information about the Department of Education's Parent Payments Policy can be found here.

Payments through Compass

At Kalinda, we use Compass to communicate with families, manage notification of student absences, and seek consent and payment for school incursions, excursions and camps. Information on how to set up the Compass app for Kalinda students is provided to families on enrolment. If you have any questions about Compass or payments for school activities, please contact our office.

Qkr! app

We use the Qkr! app to enable parents to make quick and easy payments for canteen items and fundraising events throughout the school year. We do not take cash for payments at Kalinda. Families must simply download the Qkr! app and link Kalinda Primary School to get started.
