FEES

School fees have been mostly eliminated for the 25/26 school year.  Fees for extra-curricular activities, sports and clubs, and field trips will still have some fees attached to them.

We will provide an update on fees and payments in early September 2025.

School fees are proposed by the school, presented to the Parent Advisory Committee and approved by the School Board on a yearly basis.  Any other fees passed along to parents from the school are on a cost-recovery basis only. For example, a grade 7 class may be scheduled to go curling or swimming.  The costs of curling or swimming as determined by those service-providers are relayed directly to the service providers on behalf of the school and involve no profit or retention of any funds for the school.

Any family may reach out at any time for financial support from the school.  Trafalgar (along with all other SD8 schools) is prepared with hardships funds to ensure that no child is excluded from any activity (curricular or extra-curricular) because of financial need.  A simple, written request to the principal (tim.mushumanski@sd8.bc.ca) is requested.  No explanation or proof of financial hardship is required.  All requests are considered private and confidential.  Requests for support can include deferred payment, payment over time, partial waiver or full waiver as is requested.
