School Fees
Tuition fees are set annually and are guided at all times by the principles of justice and equity that underpin our Catholic ethos and vision.
The School Based Levy covers the cost of resources and consumable materials supplied for all subjects, operating costs and all compulsory core curriculum activities, including camps, activities, most excursions and retreats.
The Building Levy supports ongoing improvements and capital works.
Tuition Fee reductions are available to siblings and those experiencing financial hardship. Payment options are available for the payment of fees.
