The Department of Education has reviewed the Parent Payment Policy for 2022, which has resulted in a change to the way we will be organising book packs and materials for students next year.
To ensure that every student has the essential books and stationery they need to learn effectively, the College will be purchasing book packs and providing textbooks for Foundation to Year 12, and then inviting parents to contribute towards the cost as part of the Parent Payment Arrangements.
Due to the different courses and combinations of subjects undertaken at each year level, arrangements are a little different as students get into the higher year levels.
The Department of Education and Training’s Parent Payments Policy can be found at the following link:
Foundation to Year 6
Class Materials
Bulk Class materials will be purchased and provided to the Teacher for distribution to students in class during the course of the year.
Voluntary Financial Contributions
Please find attached Benalla P-12 College’s voluntary financial contributions schedule for 2022, which includes an overview of what your contributions will contribute towards.
Year 7 & 8
Class Materials
All students do the same subjects so we will provide a book/stationery pack for every student. All textbooks will be provided as class sets.

Year 9 & 10
Class Materials
All students do the same core subjects (English, Humanities, Maths, Science, Health/PE) so we will provide a book/stationery pack for these core subjects.. The additional subjects selected are chosen to suit individual learning paths and are different for each student, so it is not possible to include standard stationery for these in the book pack, however teachers of the elective subjects will provide the items required in each class. All textbooks will be provided as class sets.

Year 11 & 12 (and Year 10 students fast tracking a VCE subject)
Class Materials
All students undertake different courses, so we are not able to provide a standard pack at this level.
A recommended stationery list is attached, and you will be required to purchase the items for the subjects your child has chosen. Items are available from any office supplies store or supermarket.
We are however able to provide class sets of all textbooks, so families won’t need to purchase them – these are to be returned at the end of the year. Of course, you have the option of buying the textbooks, and not using class sets if you wish. A booklist is attached for you to complete and return to Campion Education by 5/11 /21 if you wish to purchase your own.
