As you can appreciate, we too must pay our bills. Each Fee Payer is required to either pay fees in full within 30 days of the invoice date or alternatively enter into a regular payment arrangement by returning the completed School Fee Agreement within 30 days of the invoice date.  The College is open to flexible payment arrangements including weekly, fortnightly and monthly payments.

Any fees in arrears for 2022 will be added to this schedule. To accurately calculate your individual repayments please utilise the School Fee Repayment Calculator at https://ww.catholic.edu.au/school-fee-repayment-calculator/

If families have not entered into an arrangement with the College for this year or commenced a payment option (see above) by the end of February, they will be required to pay their fees in full within 30 days of the invoice date.

As per the College Laptop agreement, Parents/Carers share the cost of laptop repairs required during the school year. Parents/Carers may be billed for the cost of replacement parts, with the College paying freight and labour costs.
