Fees & Charges

Materials and Services Charges 2021

The materials and services charge has been designed to add value and support Henley High School to continue to offer a broad and rich curriculum that goes beyond the base level of education.

Henley High School Materials and Services Charges 2021: $780.00 + Subject Charges

The charge covers curriculum/ subject supplies and services required to meet the essential cost of the course across all subject areas e.g. Art, Science, Home Economics, PE and Tech Studies

Courses can vary in cost depending on projects/ material provided and where applicable levies will be charged for materials that are required in addition to the basic materials normally used. e.g. Oak wood instead of Pine.

Costs for some items such as elective larger school projects and some excursions that are beyond the allowances included as part of the core curriculum, will need to be paid for as required and are determined as “other charges” as per DfE instruction.
