School Fees & Levies for 2024

School Fees & Levies for 2024

The School Family Fee for 2024 will be $1792 per year, composed of a Recurrent Family Fee $1,292 and a Capital Fee of $500. The School Family Fee will be payable in three instalments of over the first three terms of the school year. 

The student Levy for all students for the 2024 school year will be $585. To provide better transparency as to how the school finances and income received by parents is utilised, we have again this year broken down the Student Levy to identify what contributes to the levy and how it is spent. 

In 2024 there will be a Swimming Levy of $60.00 for every year 3-6 student (Foundation – 2 will not be having swimming lessons).  This levy is required to help offset the considerable cost to the school. It is a government requirement that all students can swim 50 metres by the end of their Grade 6 year.

We will continue with the Infrastructure Levy of $100 per family as we are continually looking to improve our physical resources. 

The Grade 5 & 6 School Camp will be held in 2024 with a cost of the camp being $360.00.   The camp fee must be paid no later than one week prior to the date of the camp.

Families who are currently in arrears for the 2023 school year and have not made an arrangement with the school, we ask that you attend to your account as soon as possible or to contact the office. Direct EFT  payment details are : BSB 083-347    Account Number 644898266  (Please use family name as reference)

Families in arears will be asked to enter into a payment plan to ensure the arrears do not become unmanageable. Please note that we do everything we can to hold costs down whilst providing the best education opportunities possible for your child.

Statements, Direct Debit forms and information will be sent out at the beginning of Term 1 2024 in hard copy. To start a payment plan for 2024 please complete the Direct Debit form and return to the School Office.

School Fee Concession 2024

With the change in parish school governance to MACS (Melbourne Archdiocese of Catholic Schools) there has been a change to assist school families experiencing financial hardship in accessing a Catholic primary education for their child/children. There is now the opportunity to apply for a School Fee Concession in 2024. At all times, the dignity and privacy of those seeking a fee concession will be respected. School office staff can advise applicants of the concessional fee to be charged. This concessional fee is fixed annually by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS). Approved applicants will be charged only the annual concessional fee, which will cover all standard school fees and levies. If the applicant has become eligible under one of the eligibility criteria listed below throughout the year, a pro-rata concession will be granted from the time the application is made. In this instance, standard school fees and levies will be incurred for the portion of the year whereby the applicant was not eligible. To be eligible for the concession, the family must agree to either a direct debit.

Application for School fee Concessions will be available to families under the following categories: 

Please do not hesitate to contact the Office for further information in regard to the concessional fee application.

May I also take this opportunity to thank the many parents who have supported the school in a non-financial way through their participation in classroom activities and parent groups such as the School Advisory Board and P & F Committee. Our community as a whole has gained greatly from the gift of their time, effort and support.
