P&C Voluntary Levy
Alexandria Park Community School underwent a significant redevelopment in 2021, providing K-12 students with much-needed upgraded learning environments.
To fully leverage this transformation, the P&C aims to introduce activities and initiatives in the near and long term to foster community engagement and maximise learning opportunities and experiences for APCS.
Achieving this vision relies heavily on the generous contributions from families and the larger community.
We encourage you to support P&C efforts by paying the P&C Voluntary Levy per student at the beginning of each school year.
While the levy is voluntary, and the suggested amount serves as a recommendation, every contribution helps! Please consider giving any amount that fits comfortably within your capacity.
Show your support and pay via the SchoolBytes portal.
