(1) The dollar amounts listed represent voluntary contributions from each primary school and exclude refunds, transfers to and from other schools and voluntary contributions received in advance.
(1)(a) $3.9m was collected for voluntary contributions across all primary schools in 2008.
(1)(b) $4.2m was collected for voluntary contributions across all primary schools in 2009.
(1)(c) $4.5m was collected for voluntary contributions across all primary schools in 2010.
(2) The dollar amounts listed for each secondary school represent voluntary contributions received for the whole school, and exclude refunds, transfers to and from other schools and voluntary contributions received in advance. Where Kindergarten to Year 7 students are enrolled, such as in district high schools, the dollar amount will include the voluntary contributions received.
(2)(a) $4.1m was collected for voluntary contributions across all secondary schools in 2008.
(2)(b) $3.9m was collected for voluntary contributions across all secondary schools in 2009.
(2)(c) $4.7m was collected for voluntary contributions across all secondary schools in 2010.
(3)(a) The percentage of voluntary contributions collected for each public primary school is not recorded centrally.

(3)(b) The total amount in dollars that was collected in voluntary contributions at each primary school in 2008 [see tabled paper no]. If a primary school had students enrolled in Years 8 to 10 the dollar amount listed will include voluntary contributions received for these students.
(4) The percentage of voluntary contributions collected at each secondary school represents Years 8 to 10 only. Voluntary contributions do not apply to Years 11 and 12. The Education Program Allowance ($235) and the ABSTUDY Supplement ($79) paid directly to schools with eligible students enrolled in Years 8 to 10 are excluded.
(4)(a)-(d) The percentage of voluntary contributions collected and the total amount in dollars collected at each secondary school in 2008 and 2009 [see tabled paper no.]. Please note that Darkan Primary School changed classification in 2010 from a District High School.
