The School Tuition Fee is set by the Diocesan Board of Financial Administration and is your contribution towards the recurrent cost of educating your children in a Catholic School.

The Resource Fee covers many of the consumable items used by your children and is billed per grade. Often the Resource Fee does not cover all costs and some money from Tuition Fees is allocated to these items. The Resource Fee also includes all school actives such as excursion, incursions, sport, music activities, IT and Grounds. This has been introduced to save parents the inconvenience of finding cash for these events all throughout the year. This does not include selective sport costs, overnight excursions or end of Year 6 events.

The Diocesan Family School Building Levy is sent to the Catholic Schools Office to maintain the school buildings. It is compulsory and is not tax deductible. Each family with a child in the Maitland/Newcastle Diocesan system is charged annually regardless of the number of children from Kinder to Year 12 in the Catholic Systemic School System. At times the school may request information in regard to children in the Catholic Schools System. This is to ensure your family is only invoiced once.

Voluntary Diocesan Pastoral Contribution will be put on Compass Fees as an opt in payment per family. This fund enables the diocese to contribute generously to the social and spiritual capital of our community. Expenditure of the School Building Levy is organised through the Catholic Schools Office after consultation at Parish, Regional and Diocesan levels.

School fees are billed at the commencement of the year for the annual amount.

Accounts may be paid weekly, monthly or annually by:

• Cash, cheque or credit card
• Direct debit
• B-Pay

Fees should not be an excessive burden for any family. If you find yourself in financial difficulty please contact the school to organise a meeting with the Principal.
