Payments in person to the school office
Park Ridge State High School prefers payments made by Internet Banking or EFTPOS transactions to help minimise the risks associated with cash on site.
If money is brought to school to pay for school activities it must be paid at the Cash Collection Window at the Administration Block.

Refund Policy
At Park Ridge State High School, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for students, staff and volunteers. This commitment includes the health and safety of staff and students when conducting curriculum activities in the school or in other locations.
State schools may charge a fee for:
- educational services provided to students, including materials and consumables not supplied through the standard curriculum provision
- educational services provided by an external organisation or provider, where the school incurs a cost on behalf of the student
- specialised educational programmes approved by the school
- excursions, camps and similar activities, charged on a cost-recovery basis only
- other school-approved services or activities where a fee is permitted under Department of Education policy
Excursions and Camps
School fees for excursions and camps calculated on a cost recovery only basis, according to the number of students who have indicated their attendance.
Participation of students in an excursion or camp is indicated through payment of the excursion or camp fee and provision of a permission given by the parent/ carer.
The decision as to whether the school will or not refund the payment in part or in full depends on whether the school has incurred any costs associated with the activity.
Refund payment arrangements
All refunds of $25.00 and under will be credited to the student's account for future use. However, students who have school fees and accounts outstanding will have all refunds credited to the account to minimise the debt.
Students who do not have any accounts outstanding will have refunds over $25.00 direct deposited into the nominated bank account as directed by the parent/caregiver.
Requesting a refund
Parents/carers may request a refund by contacting the school's finance team or the office at information@parkridgeshs.eq.edu.au.
