School Fees & Finance
School Fees 2025
Thank you to all families who have completed direct debit forms. It is the expected and preferred payment method for school fees. Our school fees for 2025 were shared last year and can be found on our website.
Families yet to complete and submit direct debit forms are encouraged to do so at your earliest convenience. Families holding a current Health Care Card, please contact the office to discuss your fee relief and direct debit commitment.
If at anytime families are experiencing financial hardship, please contact the office to make an appointment to see Jasmine Ryan, the principal.
At all times St Mary's strives to ensure fees are manageable to our families. Please also see correspondence from CESL supporting families with current Health Care cards for the 2025 school year.
Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) - ARE YOU ENTITLED?
If you have a current Health Care Card or Pension Card, you may be eligible for the Camps/ Sports/ Excursions Fund (CSEF) payment.
The CSEF is an annual payment of $125 to the school to be used towards camps, sports and / or excursion expenses for the benefit of the eligible student.
If you have applied for the CSEF last year, you do not need to complete an application form in 2025 unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. e.g. New student enrolment, your child has started or changed schools, or you did not apply at the same school in 2024.
Please click on the button below and return the form to the office.
Can all CSEF information please be returned to the office ASAP.
FEES - 2025

If families are needing to discuss fee support and payment arrangements, please make a time to see the Principal, Jasmine Ryan.
St Mary’s Fee Policy & Procedure…
It is an expectation and commitment as signed on enrolment that families that can afford to pay school fees in full need to meet their financial obligation to the School. Low-income families who are experiencing financial hardship are able to apply for fee concessions and pay what they can actually afford after formalising arrangements with the School. Therefore it is an expectation that all families will contribute towards school fees.
If at any time St Mary’s families are experiencing financial hardships that challenge your ability to pay school fees, please make an appointment to discuss your needs with the Principal.
