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 2022: $790.00 + 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.
