Financial Contributions
Macleod College is looking forward to another great year of engaging teaching and learning and would like to advise you of the 2025 voluntary financial contributions.
All schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil standard curriculum requirements. To complement this, Macleod College invites voluntary contributions from our families to ensure that we can offer the best possible educational outcomes for our students. We only request contributions for items that we believe add value to the school experience.
Macleod College proudly lives its values: Achieve, Respect and Connect by delivering comprehensive, and inclusive programs. We rely on your ongoing voluntary financial support to ensure that we continue to cater for the learning and wellbeing needs of all students. Our contribution amounts have not changed for the past few years keeping in mind families’ financial pressures. This has not changed how we provide the standard curriculum and additional educational and physical resources. We have, however, had no choice but to pass on small fee increases to e-learning subscriptions and activity charges due to providers increasing costs.
We thank families for their ongoing support, whether through financial contributions, fundraising or volunteering your time.
In 2025 the Junior School (Prep to year 06) will introduce Auslan sign language classes to engage and promote diversity for our young learners. In 2024, through teacher innovation and your financial support, we provided new exciting student programs such as the Year 10 EnlighTEN Program which allows students to select from a diverse set of electives in each key learning area. This has proven to be very successful, and we are exploring a similar opportunity for Year 9 through the new Nine-finity Program.
Other initiatives include:
-
Holistic Health & Nutrition Days for students;

enhanced digital learning opportunities;
-
additional VCE subject offerings;
