FEES & LEVIES BILLING AND PREFERRED PAYMENT METHOD
Family invoices for school fees and levies will be issued over the next couple of busiess days. Attached here is the 2025 Payment Commitment Plan for your information.
All families will have their school fees and student levies invoiced in February 2025 with a statement sent out in the first week of term. (Please ensure you provide us with an updated email address if changed since last year). We request that the 2025 Payment Commitment form is returned to the school office as soon as possible.
The Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Ltd (MACS) Fee Collection Policy strongly encourages all families to utilise a Direct Debit arrangement. Direct Debit is a convenient method with no need to remember to pay instalments, and many of our families already benefit from the use of the Direct Debit system for paying school fees.
A reminder that families with a Health Care card may be entitled to a reduction in fees. Please speak to Kathy Muhllechner in the school office if you have one.
If you have any queries or require further information, please contact Kathy at office@smashburton.catholic.edu.au or call on 9885 3105.

OPEN DAYS 2025
Our Open Day Dates have now been finalised and are listed on our school website. Shortly I will be visiting our local kindergartens and child care centres to drop off our fliers and make contact with the directors. If you know anyone wishing to visit St Michael's School, please share our Open Day Dates with them, or encourage them to phone the school office to book a tour with me at an alternative time.
