We hope that your family had a restful school break, and we welcome all students and parents to the 2026 school year.

We are pleased to provide you with important information regarding the 2026 Tuition Fees, General Levy and E-Resource Levy for this year.

2026 Tuition Fees

2026 Tax Invoices were emailed to families on Tuesday, 3 February, and a copy was sent via post to all families. If you do not receive your 2026 Tax Invoice, please check your “Junk” folder, and add fees@stmonicas-epping.com to your safe list. Alternatively, contact the Fees Office so that we confirm we have the correct details in our system.

Fee Statements and Tax Invoices will be emailed at the beginning of each month.

Unlike some primary schools, the College does not offer any concession rates on tuition fees and levies payable for families that hold a valid health care card. All College tuition fees and levies are payable in full.

Please keep in mind that payments are due and payable in four equal instalments by the second week of each term if you are not on a school administered payment plan:

Instalment 1 – 13 February, 2026

Instalment 2 – 1 May, 2026

Instalment 3 – 24 July, 2026

Instalment 4 – 16 October, 2026.

Our standardised payment plans have the following upcoming direct debit dates in February:

1 Quarterly Payments

Payment Options

The College offers many payment options to enable parents to meet their fee obligations as follows:

At reception (Augustine House) – Payments can be made by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card
Online Payments via the community (fee) portal, or via BPAY
Direct Debit Payment Plan (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly) - Parents that would like to setup a Payment Plan, please contact our Fees office. Keep in mind, families who have opted into a payment plan will have an extended due date until November for weekly, fortnightly and monthly plans.

We kindly ask families to ensure sufficient funds are available at least one business day prior to your direct debit instalment being due as an administration fee of $10.00 per occasion will be charged to your account if your direct debit payment is rejected.

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) $400.00

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund will ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities.

School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors, excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works and sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership. All are part of a healthy curriculum.

CSEF will be provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card, veterans’ affairs or pension card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF.

The annual CSEF amount will be $400.00 per child. This allowance will also be paid to the school and will be applied to your tuition fees account.

How to Apply

Accepting applications

Parents (including guardians) no longer need to submit a new application form each year in most cases.

Parents only need to submit a new application form in 2026 if any of these changes have occurred.

New student enrolments: students who have started or changed schools in 2026 or if the parent did not apply for CSEF at the school in 2025
Changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2026

For concession card holders CSEF eligibility will be subject to the parent/legal guardian’s concession card being successfully validated with Centrelink on the first day of either term one or term two. CSEF payments cannot be claimed retrospectively for prior years.

All queries are to be directed to the Fees Office on 9409 8800 or fees@stmonicas-epping.com.

We look forward to working together throughout 2026.
