2025 St John's School Fees

2025 St John's School Fees

By now, your nominated fee payer should have received the 2025 fee statement via email. If you have not yet received your invoice please check your trash/junk mail before calling the school office to request another copy. For a hard copy of your statement, please email administration@sjmitcham.catholic.edu.au  and one can be sent home with your eldest child.

School fees and levies are for the purpose of funding the current school year and should be either:

   (1) Paid in full by the end of Term 1, Friday, 4 April 2025

   (2) Paid in three equal instalments at the end of Terms 1, 2 and 3

   (3) Paid via regular Direct Debit schedule - by the end of Term 3, Friday 19 September 2025

   (4) Paid by other agreed upon instalments negotiated with the school principal

A Fee Payment Agreement form and a Direct Debit form were sent home with the eldest students. Payments can be made via EFTPOS or cash at Main Reception, via direct deposit (school bank details and your reference available on statements), or via direct debit (please complete and return the direct debit form). A digital copy of these forms are available below.

If you are unable to commit to one of the above payment options, or you are experiencing any financial difficulties, please make an appointment with Verona Gridley to discuss via principal@sjmitcham.catholic.edu.au
