Brighton Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and we would like to advise you of the school’s voluntary financial contributions for 2022.
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. While the Department of Education and Training funds a standard curriculum program, many of the highly valued programs and resources provided by Brighton Primary School go above and beyond this funding and could not be provided without the financial support of our families whose children benefit.
In order to maintain and enhance high quality teaching and learning programs and resources, School Council has approved the following 2022 parent payment charges.

Some of our school improvement projects currently underway which we will continue into 2022 include:
- Enhancing our classroom libraries in all grade levels;
- Purchasing additional literacy materials including new readers for students and decodable reading texts;
- Purchasing new classroom furniture – we added classroom libraries and new tables & chairs this year and plan to add new classroom storage facilities for students, ottoman seating, a classroom library rug and other accessories;
- Painting the classroom spaces that have not yet been repainted
- The installation of an AV Media System in our gymnasium to enhance the student experience during assemblies and other performances.
Brighton Primary School understands that some families may experience financial difficulty and offers a range of support options, including:
- The school’s second–hand uniform shop
- State Schools Relief Fund (SSRF)
- The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF)
