Financial Information

Our commitment to our school families is to offer a high quality Catholic education that is accessible and affordable.

Annual School Fees 2024

Full Fee per Student $2,700
Lower Income Fee per Student $1,620

 

What is Included:

The tuition fee above covers all tuition, levies and charges for each child’s education.

Extra-curricular activities, excursions, camps, and uniforms are excluded and will be charged separately.

Our laptop rental program for Years 3-6 is also an additional charge and there will be a further letter sent home at the beginning of 2024 explaining these costs.
 

Lower Income Fee:

To be eligible for the lower income fee, you need to qualify as a low income family. This is determined by your family’s gross income and is a $ value set by the State Government.

As a guide, for 2023, your family’s gross income needed to be below approximately $66,412 for a family with one school-age child. (The limit will vary depending on how many dependent children you have.)

Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government’s School Card scheme.

Our finance manager can help you if you have any questions about applying for the lower income fee.
