Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and all parent contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. We want to thank you for all your support, whether that's through fundraising or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

Within our school this support allows us to provide a broad and engaging curriculum that is highly differentiated to ensure learning is at the point of need for every student. It allows us to provide essential learning resources to students, renew and enhance the provision of digital technology throughout the school, improve assessment practices, and to organise and coordinate rich and extensive programs outside of the traditional teaching and learning classroom structure.

Your financial contributions also assist us with ensuring we provide the highest quality literacy and numeracy learning experiences for our students, with resources available to ensure we maximise learning outcomes for all students. Other programs which we are able to offer because of your contributions include choir, productions, community nights, sports events, wellbeing programs such as Play is the Way, robotics and gardening. All of these programs play an essential role in maximising academic and wellbeing outcomes for every student and ensure their experiences at Kalinda are engaging, meaningful and effective.

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.
