Voluntary school contributions

Like all NSW public schools, we can request contributions to enhance our educational and sporting programs including elective subjects. School contributions help provide additional educational resources for the benefit of students. Payment is voluntary. For more information, visit the Voluntary School Contribution policy.

Financial assistance

If you are unable to pay school contributions because of financial hardship, you may be eligible for assistance from the school. Our principal will ensure no student or family suffers any discrimination or embarrassment over the inability to pay school contributions.

Bring your own device program

Macquarie Fields High School has implemented a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) with Year 7-12 students.

Devices compatible with the school wifi specifications

Families advised to purchase devices that meet these specifications. Notebooks (laptops) running Windows 10 and above or Mac IOS are the most compatible with the school wifi. Parents are also advised to purchase a suitable durable bag or case for the device. Students will need administrator access to their device to be able to join the school wifi.

Chromebooks and iPads are not compatible with the school printing systems and are not recommended.
