SCHOOL FEES FOR 2024

"We welcome all students and their families who share or respect our Catholic faith, values and traditions. Catholic education is supported by State and Federal funding, with families contributing the balance of the cost of educating their children. At times, some families are unable to meet their commitment to the full costs of education. As a Catholic school system, we ensure fee relief mechanisms are available to support families in time of need. We encourage these discussions on enrolment or as these needs emerge.”

Family Tuition Fee

This fee is charged on a family basis. In 2024 it will be $1060 per year. This may be payable in weekly, fortnightly or quarterly instalments.

The State and Commonwealth Governments also provide funds for this purpose.
