FEES & CHARGES

Coffs Harbour Christian Community School (CHCCS) aims to maintain our fees at the lowest possible levels to enable all families to access our quality education. However, such an approach necessitates that school fees are paid on time by parents/ guardians so that the school can provide all that it does.

Families experiencing hardship are encouraged to contact the Principal to discuss their personal situation directly. While every effort is made to keep school fees and charges to a minimum, annual reviews of these are required in consideration of the annual increases to costs in operations.

If your child does not have textbooks or stationery at the start of Term 1, this will cause significant difficulties for his/her education.  Please ensure that orders are placed prior to Friday, 16 December 2022.

Please note, purchasing your child’s resources from Campion Education is not compulsory. If you would like to purchase from alternate retailers, the Textbook & Stationery List contains the list of textbooks and stationery required by your child.

It is essential that any textbook purchased from an alternate retailer must have an identical ISBN to the required text (see the Textbook & Stationery List).

Second Hand Textbooks:

If you are considering the purchase of secondhand textbooks:
  • It is essential that any secondhand textbook has an identical ISBN as the required text.
  • For required texts listed as “Print & Digital”, it is essential that you also purchase a digital access/activation code so your child can access the requisite online content. A digital access/activation code can be purchased directly from the publisher or from Campion Education (approx. cost $30-$79).
Secondhand textbooks can be bought and sold through Sustainable School Shop – a list of available textbooks can be found at https://www.sustainableschoolshop.com.au/booklist/coffs-harbour-christian-community-school

UNIFORM

The school uniform is a standardised dress code that provides a functional, well dressed appearance for all students. This prevents potential issues of perception that may arise between students from higher and lower socio-economic groups who may not be able to attain the ever changing vagaries of money-driven fashion.

To the right you can find helpful resources such as pricing, uniform shop opening hours, and samples.
