2026 School Fees & Levies

Payment Options

A variety of payment options are available to all families taking into consideration family situations and financial commitments. 

● Cash or cheque 

● Direct Debit (fortnightly on even or odd weeks) 

● Direct payment into the school bank account 

● Individual instalments to suit needs of families 

Direct Debit forms are available at the school office if families would like to set up a direct debit.

Extra costs

In regard to the billing of ALL school fees, levies and excursion/camp costs at the start of each year, it means the only extras you will incur will be school uniform costs. You will also have the occasional voluntary Parents & Friends Fundraisers, School Photos and Caritas Donations.

Camps, Sports & Excursion Funding (CSEF)

The Victorian Government has provided support to families to cover the cost of extra-curricular activities such as school camps and excursions. Holders of a current Centrelink Pensioner Concession or Health Care Card are eligible to receive $400 for each primary school student to be allocated towards camps and excursion cost for your child/ren.

Fee Concession - CESL

St Mary’s School is pleased to announce that Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd will significantly reduce school fees and levies for families with a valid Health Care Card. The total annual fee will be reduced to $540 per student, which amounts to just $12 per week over 12 months. 

The discount will be automatically applied to your school fee account once you provide a copy of your HCC to the school office, complete a CSEF form, and set up a direct debit arrangement. The CESL understands that many families have varying circumstances and in response to the rising cost of living expenses, are committed to supporting those who need additional assistance. 

Please be assured that this support is provided to ensure all students can have the opportunity to thrive in our school community. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact the school office.

School Uniform

A supply of school uniforms is available at school at all times. Please let the office know if you would like any additional uniforms. Second-hand uniforms are also available.

Student Absences

When a child is absent, a phone call to the school, email or a Parent Notified Absence notification via PAM, prior to 9am, is expected, to explain the absence. Any unexplained absence will be followed up each day. No child is permitted to leave the school grounds during the school day without parental approval and the permission of the Principal or Class Teacher. Children who arrive late to school need to be signed in by a parent/guardian at the front office. Parents who pick up children during the day are asked to sign the child/children out and if returning that same day sign them in again. Planned periods of pupil absence (e.g. family holiday) should be reported to the school office in advance. 

After School Pick Up 

Staff are on duty after school to ensure that all students leave the school in a safe and secure manner. This is also an opportunity to build relationships with the members of our school community. 

Out Of Hours School Care 

St Mary’s has access to the Out of School Hours Care and Holiday program, which is run independently at IPS. This is a great opportunity for St Mary's and the Inglewood community, as the school can provide safe travel via the School Bus to and from IPS each day.
