All Victorian government schools must teach the standard curriculum (prep to year 12) to all students for free. Parents/guardians pay for items that are essential to help your child learn the standard curriculum.

At Port Melbourne Primary School the items that parents are responsible for include;

  • text books and stationery
  • materials used for school work where your child keeps the final product
  • school uniform
  • excursions or incursions that all students can attend
