School Contributions & Book Packs

The 2026 School Book packs list are now available via Compass.

In 2026, Ashburton Primary School  Book Packs will be supplied by Campion Education. There will be some variation between book packs depending on which year level your child is in for 2026.

Please note all Contributions are voluntary  and include the Information and Communication Technology, Library Fund, Building Maintenance Fund, Fundraising and School Support Contribution.

If you wish to discuss a flexible contribution arrangement for the 2026 School Contributions, please contact the Business Manager, Claire Bartlett, on (03) 9813 9400.

For 2026, Ashburton Primary School requests for school contributions are all voluntary. This decision will bring APS in line with the Department’s Parent Payment Policy that brings a stronger focus to transparency.

Parents can now pay for extra curricular events such as Swimming, Athletics, and Year 6 Sport etc. individually on Compass at the same time consent is supplied. Payment can be via credit card (Visa, MasterCard).

We would appreciate parent understanding as we transition through this new change. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to address queries to the Business Manager, Claire Bartlett, at ashburton.ps@education.vic.gov.au or on (03) 9813 9400.
