Dear Parents and Families,

As of today Monday 28th April families in Western Australia with school-aged children are eligible to receive a cost-of-living payment for each child via the ServiceWA app.

The WA Student Assistance Payment helps parents and carers with the cost-of-living pressures associated with sending their children to school.

The second round of the payment is now open, with claim submissions available through the ServiceWA app. All Western Australian school students in Kindergarten to Year 12, with a valid WA student number (WASN), are eligible for this cost-of-living payment.

Your children have been given their student number today in paper form, you can also obtain their WA student number through the CONNECT app.

You can claim $250 for each secondary student and $150 for students attending primary school or Kindergarten.

To claim the payments, parents and carers are encouraged to set up a ServiceWA account.

Kind Regards,
Mrs Sue Waterhouse
Principal, MPS
