This applies to both Term 1 and Term 3 Reception intakes. 

Our commitment to our school families is to offer a high-quality Catholic education that is accessible and affordable.

2023 Annual School Fees
Full Fee per Student $1,900

What is included?
The tuition fee above covers all tuition, levies and charges for each child’s education.

 

What is not included?

Extra-curricular activities, excursions, camps, and uniforms are excluded and will be charged separately.

 

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.

Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government’s School Card scheme.

Our finance officer can help you if you have any questions about applying for the School Card Scheme.
