CHARGES INFORMATION
BOOKLET 2021
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAll students of Fremantle College receive a quality education based on the WA Curriculum. The
College directs its efforts towards keeping costs as low and as equitable as possible.
The following information is provided in the hope of making the Contributions and Charges
structure clear for parents and caregivers.
General Information
In Years 7 and 8 students are provided with a set timetable including compulsory learning
subjects as well as the opportunity to experience a range of elective subjects in The Arts
(Music/Visual Art) and Technologies (Design & Tech/Home Ec/Digital Technologies). This is
with the exception of students who are in Specialist Programs.
In Years 9 and 10 students complete English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social
Science and Health and Physical Education, and their choice of elective subjects. Students may
choose low cost electives that fit within the voluntary contribution, however, can also choose
subjects that attract a compulsory charge. This is with the exception of students who are in
Specialist Programs.
In Years 11 and 12 students are able to select from a range of subjects, all of which attract a
compulsory charge as per Department of Education policy. The charges incurred depend upon
the courses chosen. Some specific courses will incur higher costs dependent upon such items
as text books, subject specific resources, materials, excursions, certificates and work placement.
Courses over $100.00 require payment of half the cost prior to the end of the 2020 school year.
Students involved in work placement must pay the associated fees prior to commencement of
the work placement.
Specialist Programs
The Specialist Programs of Marine, ICT, Contemporary Music, Performing Arts Academy and AFL
Academy are offered at Fremantle College and incur compulsory charges over and above the
voluntary contribution for a nominal curriculum choice. These charges cover items such as resources
and activities that are a requirement of the course.
If you accept a place in our Specialist or Academy programs, you are also accepting the
appropriate charge and should pay 50% prior to the end of the 2020 school year. The
balance is due in Term 1 2021.

1Voluntary Contributions and Charges
Voluntary Contributions cover the basic subject costs in Years 7 to 10. The payment of this
$235.00 amount assists the College to provide a higher standard of educational resources for your
child including the provision of modern texts and equipment for students. Fremantle College urges
you to pay this portion to enable the college to provide your child with the education we believe
they deserve.
Compulsory Charges cover the cost of the specialist programs that students may be accepted into
in Years 7 to 10, and the electives that a student may choose in Years 9 and 10. Courses outside
the core educational programs incur charges above the voluntary contribution. All charges are

$5.00 charge. The Smartrider card also doubles as a School Library card. The Library card will
enable students to borrow books through the Library and use the photocopiers. If the card is
lost or misplaced, a new card can be issued at the cost of $5.00 per card. All cards will include
