Financial support plays a significant role in supplying resources that increase our ability to enhance students’ educational experiences. In accordance with the Education Act of 1999 and Department of Education Policy, Melville SHS seeks to maintain parent contributions at a minimum level of equity and minimum charge in order to facilitate the extension and enrichment of our educational programme.
Courses and activities that incur additional charges, where parent/student elects to participate. These may include:
The remaining course payments are required prior to the commencement of Semester 2. If unpaid, students may be asked to switch to a reduced expense option, and the outstanding amount will be sent to a debt collection agency.
Years 11 & 12: Compulsory charges apply to all courses.

A Community Nurse is located in the Student Services area. The role combines health promotion and education, and first aid to students on campus.

In Western Australia, all public secondary schools and institutions provide school health services. Community health nurses serve as children and adolescents’ initial point of contact with the healthcare system and are the primary health liaisons for schools. Together, community health nurses and school personnel aim to improve students’ health, well-being, and educational outcomes on an individual and group basis.
Our Community Health Nurses work in tandem with the Student Services team to provide care for students with particular difficulties. They are skilled in assessing adolescent health needs and frequently engage in health counselling to identify issues, risks, and protective factors, as well as offer guidance, brief interventions, referral to other services and follow-up care.
The school’s Health Centre, located in the Student Services area, is a place where students can either drop in (ideally, during break) or schedule an appointment to discuss health and well-being issues. The recommended pathway for attending the Health Centre is that the student requests permission to leave class by showing his/her diary to the teacher. The student may then walk to Student Services and sign in using their Academy card at which point they may see the Community Nurse.
If deemed unwell enough to be excused from school, the Community Nurse will phone the student’s parent/carer.
In the best interest of the student and to improve overall resiliency, the use of mobile phone messaging between students and parents during the school day is discouraged, as miscommunication regarding illness or injury may lead to confusion and anxiety for the parent.
Our focus is to empower students to become self-responsible young adults.
It is important to note that we do not dispense any medication and students are encouraged to carry one dose of analgesia e.g. Panadol.
Appointments may be made by phoning 62741320 or emailing HealthCentre.Melville.SHS@education.wa.edu.au.
If there are any changes to your child’s health status or if you simply have a query, please do not hesitate to phone or email the Health Centre.
