East Doncaster Secondary College Council would like to thank you for your support of the College as we endeavour to provide the best possible education for your child.

In order to provide quality programs and a comfortable and efficient learning environment for our students, the College relies on strong support from the College community. The Parent Payments are designed to supplement the Government’s allocation to schools to provide materials and services. These contributions enable us to enrich and extend the learning experiences of our students in each subject. Please find attached the explanatory Parent Payments Parent Letter and Parent Payment Policy.

2025 Parent Payments are made available for parents to pay on Compass. Please note that there is no additional charge incurred if paying online via Compass.

For further information regarding our Parent Payments Policy, please refer to the attached documents.

Our Year 7 students will be requested to purchase a laptop. When a student purchases a new device in Year 7, it is anticipated they will keep this until the end of Year 10 and purchase a new device for VCE. While some devices might last longer than this, devices over 4 years of age are likely to under perform, be unreliable and potentially impact student learning. The use of these devices is crucial to the learning program as students will access eBooks rather than an extensive number of expensive textbooks.

Parent Payments are reviewed annually by the School College Council and are distributed and published in Term 4 for the following year.
