Dear Parent/Guardian,

Dandenong North Primary School is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of its voluntary financial contributions for 2026.

Schools provide students with free instruction to meet the needs of the Victorian Curriculum and all contributions to enhance this education through student materials and opportunities, are voluntary. However, the ongoing financial support of our families ensures that our school continues to offer the best possible education and support for our students.

Student stationery supplies

Exercise books, headphones, pens, pencils, glue, coloured pencils, textas, coloured paper, reading diary.

Art room consumables

Library Books & Take Home Readers

Purchasing of books for both our junior and senior library and class sets of books that are new and attractive without resorting to worn copies that are damaged from frequent reading.
