2026 School Fee Information

Statements

Fee statements will continue to be sent at the start of each month, all Health Care Card discounts, and CSEF rebates have been allocated.

We will continue to conduct health checks on fee balances and reaching out to families over the coming months, to ensure payments will be sufficient to clear balances (or as close to as possible) by the end of the year.

We ask that all families look at their statement and ensure current payment plans are correct.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the office.
