Financial Contributions

Financial contributions at Mount Rowan Secondary College

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian Curriculum and we want to assure you that all curriculum and other 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, and the College appreciates the strong financial support provided by its school community.

Within our school, this support has allowed us to provide special curriculum experiences and enhanced digital learning opportunities.
