By now, you should have received the 2026 fee statement via email. If you have not yet received your statement 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.auand one can be sent home with your 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 - Thursday 2 April 2026

   (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 18 September 2026

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

A Fee Payment Agreement form and a Direct Debit form will be sent home with the eldest student of each family. Payments can be made via EFTPOS (preferred) 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 needed.

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
