Refund Policy
Mackay West State School is committed to providing a safe, supportive learning environment for students, staff and volunteers. This commitment includes the health and safety of staff and students when conducting curriculum activities in the school or in other locations. School excursions and camps enhance a student’s learning by providing opportunities for the student to participate in activities, both curriculum-related and recreational, outside the normal school routine. All planned school excursions are approved by the Principal and endorsed by the Parents and Citizens Association.
Participation of students in curricular & extra-curricular activities is indicated through payment of the fee and provision of a permission form completed by the parent.
As the school budget cannot meet any shortfalls in funding for an activity due to the subsequent non-participation of a student who had previously indicated attendance of the activity, fees already paid for said activity may be refunded in full or in part or not at all, having regard to the associated expenses incurred and the circumstances of the non-participation. Refunds will only be issued upon completion and approval of a Request for Refund (available from the School Administration Office). Please refer to the Refund Policy Guidelines in the link for more information.
