Parental Contributions

At Ivanhoe Primary School, we believe in the power of community involvement to support our students' educational experiences. Through co-contributions from parents, we collectively raise the necessary funds to enhance specialist activities and classes, enriching our curriculum and providing invaluable opportunities for our students.

Ivanhoe Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of Ivanhoe Primary School’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024. Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all 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 is through fundraising or volunteering your time. This has made a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.

Your support allows us to:

  • Increase the number of mobile devices available to students

  • Increase the hours of our education support (aides) and support teachers in the classrooms

  • Purchase resources over and above the basic essential instructional items

  • To update our projectors and smartboard in our learning spaces

  • Update School wide site licences for software and purchase new software for student use

  • Replace and service classroom air conditioners
