SCHOOL FEE BILLING

School fees are billed in full at the beginning of each year.

SCHOOL FEE PAYMENT AGREEMENT

Families are asked to complete a School Fee Payment Agreement each year to indicate how they intend to pay off the balance of fees. It is expected that fees should be paid in full by 1 December each year (unless paying by Direct Debit, or other arrangements have been made with the Principal).

SCHOOL FEE STATEMENTS

School fee statements are sent home and emailed at the beginning of the year. This statement will show any balance brought forward from previous years, the fees billed for the current year, and the balance owing after current year billing.

Throughout the year statements will be emailed after the end of each month. These statements will show balance owing from the end of last statement, any transactions made since the last statement, and the current balance owing.

PAYMENT METHODS - how they work:

Direct debits

The school will set up the Direct Debits to be processed fortnightly on your behalf for the amount indicated in the School Fee Payment Agreement. A letter will be sent home confirming the amount and dates to be processed once the School Fee Payment Agreement has been returned to the school.

Family generated:

School fee accounts should be paid in full each year by December 1.

If you have elected this option it is up to you to calculate the amounts to pay, and make arrangements to pay these amounts by December 1.

How to calculate the amount to pay for family generated:

Weekly/Monthly - divide your balance by the number of weeks/months required to pay fees in full by 1 December.

Fortnightly - use the amount suggested on the School Fee Payment Agreement for fortnightly Direct Debits (providing you start the payments by the “final date” mentioned on the payment agreement),

OR divide your balance by the number of fortnight’s required to pay fees in full prior to 1 December

Term - divide your fees by 4 and pay this amount each term prior to the end of each term, and by 1 December for Term 4.

Annual - pay the full amount of fees as soon as practicable (before 1 December).

CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF)

ARE YOU A HEALTH CARE CARD HOLDER? YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR CSEF

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card, you may be eligible for CSEF of $150.

The CSEF allowance of $150 per child is paid to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child and comes off your school fees.

PLEASE NOTE - It is VERY important that you confirm with the school if you are a Health Care Card holder and therefore eligible, as this information can affect data collected to ascertain the level of funding received by the school from the government.

If you think you may be eligible please contact the school office for a CSEF application form.

A new form must be completed each year.

CSEF forms are available from the school office or can be emailed to you.
