2024 School Fees and Levies
Please refer to the the attached 2024 Fee and Levy Structure
Collection of students during the day
If collecting children during the day, please visit the office to sign your child out via the VPass system we are using with ipad.
Late Attendance
If children arrive at school after 8:45 am they must be signed in by their parent and take a Late Pass Card to give to their teacher.
Parents can use their smartphone or the Ipad at the front office to do this. If using your smartphone, scan the QR code that says Front Desk. Failure to do this will possibly trigger an SMS to the Parent as an unexplained absence.
Thank you for your co-operation
School Absentee notification
If your child will not be attending school you must notify the office by 9.30am on the day they will be away. The preferred method is to use the Audiri App and the eform Absentee Form.
The other method is to ring the school office on 9551 5094 and choose option 1 to leave a message or send an email to office@saclaytonsth.catholic.edu.au
An SMS will be sent to parents that have not advised the school. This is now a legal requirement.
Office sign in

Child Safe Practices - Working with Children Checks
St Andrew’s School is committed to providing a child safe environment and takes active steps to ensure any person authorised to conduct ‘child connected works’ does not pose a risk to their safety or welfare. To achieve this, the school implements screening processes, including Working With Children Checks (WWCC), to assess and verify their suitability.
St Andrew’s School ensures that non-teaching staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors are of suitable character and do not have a relevant criminal record that poses an unjustifiable risk to children.
Teaching Staff & Casual Relief Teachers who are registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) undergo criminal record checks via their annual registration.
Volunteering to Assist with School Programs- WWCC
Parents would be aware that to assist with any of our school programs that all volunteers, parents/guardians/family members are required to have a current Working With Children Check on our school records.
Please refer to the following site for details on accessing a WWCC.
Family members are to provide a copy of the WWCC to the school office.
