2021 School Fees and Levies
All Victorian Catholic primary schools receive funding via two sources:
1. State and Federal Government grants (approx. 80% of total funding)
2. Fees and levy parent contributions (approx. 20% of total funding)
The fees and levies charged to parents assist the school by covering the costs of excursions, programs, utilities, resources and equipment to support the children’s learning.
