School Fee Payments

Please note that 28 February is the first payment date for fees under all plans.  If you are yet to commence 2018 payments, it would be appreciated if you bring your account into line.  Families are required to settle fees in accordance with a plan listed on the 2018 Fees Schedule unless an alternative arrangement has been approved by the College.

Copies of the Fees Schedule and forms can be located on the College website (www.msj.vic.edu.au) under ‘Enrolment Information - Fees’.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if any assistance is required.

$1,225 CSEF reduction for eligible students

$225 received directly from the government will be applied to family accounts (to offset the cost of camps and excursions).  As 2018 government grants to the College will be increased for each student who qualifies for the CSEF, a further reduction of $1,000 will be processed. 

Families who hold health care (HCC), pensioner concession (PCC) or veterans affairs cards and temporary foster parents are strongly urged to complete the CSEF form (also included on our website) as it provides them with significant reductions in fees.

Please Note: From 2018 the requirement for parents to complete and submit a new application form each year has been removed. Parents who received CSEF at the College in 2017 do not need to complete an application form in 2018 providing there has been no change in their family circumstances.

Host Families Invited Now!

Rotary Youth Exchange invites kind and caring Host Families within the community to assist local Rotary Clubs offer an outstanding exchange program to young people from all over the World.

A Host Family is a vital part of this cultural and educational exchange and typically hosts a student on a voluntary basis for a period of between 10 to 16 weeks. In doing so, a Host family officially becomes a Friend of Rotary International. The Host Family plays an integral role in offering the student the experience of a new culture and language, whilst at the same time learning itself about a different culture from a young leader. It is a direct window to the world for all members of a Host family.

You not only share a young person’s hopes and dreams, but more importantly, you make those dreams possible. Hosting is the beginning of a lifelong friendship and connection with a student and family overseas. Whilst it can be challenging to help a young person transition to a new culture and ease into the surroundings, it is always fun and the rewards are immeasurable.

Host Families in the Rotary Youth Exchange program come in many shapes and sizes! Young children, older children, and no children at all, extended families and older generations – all have been successful in hosting exchange students.

Please consider this amazing and rewarding opportunity now. Enquiries are most welcome.
