Guidelines for Expenditure of Funds
Funds raised (including those of the sub-committtes) are expended in accordance with the following guidelines adopted at the P&C General Meeting of 22 Nov 2010:
- Expenditure is expected to directly or indirectly benefit a significant group of students enrolled at this school.
- Preference is for expenditure that provides an enduring benefit rather than a short term impact.
- Preference is that funds raised will be expended on the current school population.
- Preference is for expenditure on items deemed a high priority by the P&C and where the school has limited capacity to fund.
- Funding for parental involvement in tours is acceptable provided that a clear selection process is advertised and adhered to. The parents must have a Working With Children Check. Parental involvement on a tour may or may not be partially subsidised.
- The P&C Executive Committee will determine the level of funds available to the MLSHS Finance Committee for allocation and those funds to be retained for other expenditure by the P&C.
- P&C delegates on the Finance Committee are charged with the responsibility of representing the wishes of the P&C and its broad priorities.
- Funds raised through voluntary contribution to the MLSHS Library Fund will be expended on eligible items, as defined by the Tax Act.
