Pilot of CDFPay for school fees
We have been selected by MACS / FlexiPurchase to be part of the pilot program for CDFPay.
If you are making periodic direct debit payments directly to our school bank account for your school fees (payment plan), and would like to be part of the pilot program, please email Melinda at accounts@sjfootscray.catholic.edu.au
We only need a small number of families to be involved; it commences from 4 August and is an app for school fee payments - if you are keen, please email us!
2025 School Fees & Levies
The Term 3 instalment of $550 and $105 swimming fee (per student) are due on Friday 15 August 2025. Family statements will be sent out at the start of Term 3.
Fee payment plans are available - please contact the office if you have any questions (accounts@sjfootscray.catholic.edu.au).
Absences
Absences and Family Holidays
Please be aware that parents need to contact the school to give a reason for any type of absence or we will have to mark your child unapproved.
Where possible, parents should inform the school in advance of upcoming absences to ensure a child's education and wellbeing are supported, parents are encouraged to communicate openly with the school where a child has an ongoing medical condition that may result in extended absences or medical appointments during school hours.
Family holidays will be approved if notification in writing to the Principal has been received in advance.
Medications Reminder
When your child requires medication to be given at school, please complete the Medication Authority form and bring medication in it's original packaging to the school office. Please don't send this to school via the child's bag to avoid any misuse of this medication.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Leonie in the office on 9687 3150 or admin@sjfootscray.catholic.edu.au
