The Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) is available to low-income families with children enrolled in secondary schooling to assist with school expenses.

Parents/guardians must apply for the Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) each school year (annually) – applications do not carry forward to future years.

To be eligible for the allowance the parent/ guardian must hold a Services Australia (Centrelink) or Veterans’ Affairs card that represents a statement of income for the family.

The allowance consists of two components:

∙ $235 Educational Program Allowance paid directly to the school.

∙ $115 Clothing Allowance paid directly to the parent/guardian or the school.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Parent or Guardian must hold one of the following cards:

∙ Centrelink Health Care Card.

∙ Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card

∙ Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card

Please Note: The only Veterans’ Affairs Card that meets the criteria is a blue card that is issued annually and expires in December each year.

The parent/guardian must be the holder of a card that is valid during First Term.

Copies of this card (front and back) will need to be provided when applying.

Completed applications can be handed into the front office or emailed through to our college email address: dalyellup.col@education.wa.edu.au
