Hi everyone!
I've researched this and can't seem to find much information online. I go to a government school ranked around 200. My parents both study fulltime and our family receives Centrelink benefits. Our school asks for annual fees for things like textbooks and excursions (which I don't go to) but also a "contribution" of $100. It's not specified what this contribution is used for and I don't have the financial means to pay this.
I was wondering if I can be legally exempt from this fee or if it's even legal for our school to collect compulsory contributions (since the previous school I went to didn't do this).
Thanks!
