Recognising the impact of the cost of living on our school community, we are proud to advise our 2024 school fees will not rise from the current 2023 fees. We are also continuing for 2024 fee-free mid-year intake, for children eligible to start school mid-year in 2024, families will not pay for Terms 3 and 4 2024.
The school fees for 2023 have been approved by the school board in consultation with the finance committee. The payment of fees is a responsibility and commitment by parents/guardians and ensures the School maintains quality education and resources for the benefit of all students.
ANNUAL SCHOOL FEES 2023 and 2024
| Full fee | $3800 |
| Lower income fee | $2250 |
What is included:
The Full Fee above covers all tuition, levies, excursions and other charges; including choir, band and school sanctioned sports for each child.
Year 5/6 IT device hire charge, Year 3 "Big Day Out" plus Year 4, 5 & 6 Camps are excluded and you will be charged separately.
Uniform, private music tuition and OSHC fees are not included in the above fees.
Lower income fee:
To be eligible for the lower income fee, you need to qualify as a low income family. This is determined by your family's gross income and is a $ value set by the State Government.
In 2021, your family's gross income needed to be below approximately $60,264 for a family with one school-aged child. (The limit will vary depending on how many dependent children you have.)
Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government's School Card scheme (click here for more info).

Need help with School Fees?
If you are concerned about your ability to pay school fees, we strongly encourage you to have a discussion with us. We believe a family's financial circumstances should not be a barrier to a student accessing a Catholic education. All discussions will be strictly confidential.
