College Fees and Levies - Term 3 2026
For Year 12 students, College fees and levies are issued over three terms rather than four. Payment for Term 3 fees and levies were due by Monday 10 August 2026.
In accordance with the 2026 College Fees & Levies Schedule, all school fees must be paid in full or be covered by an approved payment plan with the College.
Please note the following information from the 2026 College Fees and Levies Schedule regarding attendance at the Year 12 Celebration Dinner:
Impact of Non-payment of College Fees
Account holders not meeting the payment terms specified as a condition of enrolment, and without an approved payment plan in place, may find that invitations cannot be extended for their child to participate in extracurricular activities such as sporting trips or the Year 12 Celebration Dinner. To avoid this situation, it is crucial that account holders speak with us to make approved payment arrangements if the current 14 day terms are unachievable.
If you have any concerns with making payment for your fees or require assistance in setting up a payment plan, please do not hesitate to contact the Accounts Team on 4044 4200 or via email at smw.accounts@cns.catholic.edu.au.
Thank you,
