2024 School Fees
We were delighted to announce at the end of last term that our school tuition fees for Kindergarten to Year 12 are to remain the same in 2024 as they have been in 2023. Prep, camp and bus charges are at cost (or below) and any increase represents the direct increase in cost. Our 2024 fees are now available for you to peruse on our school website.
Previously some families have had a condition written into their enrolment contracts whereby a term’s notice was to be given on withdrawal of a student. Moving forward all MCS families will only be required to provide six (6) term weeks notice of departure to avoid further fees being charged.
Prompt payment of fees benefits all our students and we continue to be appreciative of your faithfulness to this commitment. All family accounts should be finalised by December 6th, 2023.
Car Park Safety
Please be reminded that the safety of our students and community is paramount in the carpark of a morning and afternoon. We thank you for your continued support in keeping others safe and would like to remind you that we now have a staff member who has been engaged to assist with the safe traffic flow in the car park. We ask that drop-off and collection of children in the morning (8am-9am) and afternoon (3pm-3:30pm) is solely from the Overflow Church Car Park. Please do not use the school site (where buses move) or staff car parking spaces during these times.
Thank you for your assistance with the following car park protocols:
10 km/h speed in car park.
'Kiss and Drop' of children is to be parallel park outside the Overflow Church. No parking along the full length of the southern edge of the carpark for ‘Kiss & Drop’ between 8-9am each morning.
Children and parents to cross into the carpark at the designated crossing.
Listen to and follow the directions of the Staff on Duty at all times.
No parking in the designated parks for Medowie Medical Centre.

No Hat, No Play
Wearing a hat when involved in outdoor activities is, and has always been, an important element to protecting ourselves from the damaging ultraviolet light that causes sunburn and irreversible damage to our skin. While a range of ‘sun safe’ practices are part of our policy at Medowie CS, it is becoming increasingly common for some of our students to have misplaced their hat during the cooler months of the year.
As the temperatures increase we will again be focussing on, and expecting, each and every student to have a hat available when at school, and to wear it, whether that be during breaks or during PDHPE and Sport.
Can we ask that our families help their child by ensuring they have a hat for school, and if they do not, to communicate this with their child’s Care Group / Homeroom / Classroom Teacher, and to purchase one online. Uniforms can be ordered online, which can be accessed via the school’s website under the ‘Parent Hub’ and the ‘Uniform Shop’ at the bottom of the page. Here is the link for your convenience:
