Parent Payments – 2025
Glengala Primary School follows the Victorian Department of Education Parent Payments Policy, which ensures all students have free access to the standard curriculum.
In line with this policy, schools may invite families to make voluntary financial contributions to support the enhancement of school programs and resources.
