It is important to remember that the school fees received by St Mel's directly contribute to the resources used by our students (e.g. stationery, technology, excursions) and the running costs of the school. We rely on these payments to provide a positive and engaging learning and teaching environment for your children.
Direct Debits
As per Audit requirements, we need to have a new signed Authority form each year for Direct Debits to continue, we have been following this up again for the start of 2023. This will allow us to discuss with families their situation and a payment plan to ensure the annual school fees are met. If you are not already on a Direct Debit payment plan and would like this to be your method of payment of fees please click on the link below the complete the form and return to the school office.
Centrepay
Centrepay is also available for those families who wish to use this option to support payment of the school fees. This is a convenient way to make payments as it is deducted directly from your Centrelink payments prior to you receiving them each fortnight.
An Information sheet and application form are attached below. Once application form is filled in and signed, please return to school office.
Families Email Address
We ask families to ensure that the office has the correct and up to date email address for billing purposes and sending of fee statements.
This is the main form of communicating relevant information.
If you have not received your Fee Statement it may mean we have an incorrect email address. Please check your junk folder or contact the office with up to date information.
School Fees & Levies - 2023
Our School Fees & Levies for 2023 have been finalised. There has been an overall increase in fees in line with the recommendations from Catholic Education Sandhurst Ltd. *** Please note we have moved from a ICT family based fee to a per student based fee.
Please contact the school office to make an appointment with Chris if you wish to discuss your school fees and your individual circumstances further.
St Mels on PAM
School Stream will no longer be used by St Mels from 2023 for parent communciations and upload of absences. We have moved to PAM (Parent Access Module) which can be accessed from your phone through Simon Everywhere. Emails were sent out to parents last week with instructions on how to login. If you have not recieved this please contact the school office.
Please see the St Mels Simon / PAM page in this newsletter for more information and instruction on how to access your PAM account.
