The Student Resource Levy covers all stationery, text materials, classroom paper, art and craft materials and sundry items purchased for the children and the classes.

The Utilities/Maintenance Levy covers the costs associated with the general running of the school itself. These include cleaning, gas and electricity, phone, mowing, waste disposal, etc.

Student Resource Levy          $31.00 per student per term

ICT Levy                              $31.00 per student per term

Please note that the Tuition Fee, Utilities Maintenance Fee and Building Levy, as listed above, are a ‘per family price’ meaning that subsequent children enrolled at St Mary’s do not pay these fees/levies.

There is a 50% discount on the Tuition Fee if a sibling attends an Archdiocesan Systemic secondary school and no charge for a 4th, or subsequent, child attending a Systemic primary, central or secondary school.

In accordance with Archdiocesan Policy no child will be denied a Catholic Education on the basis of a family’s inability to pay fees. Circumstances of genuine financial hardship should be discussed with the Principal.

Options available to pay:

Fees can be paid in a number of ways- direct debit, BPAY, utilising our Qkr! app, cash, cheque or credit card via BPoint. Fees can be paid per term, monthly, fortnightly or weekly.

If you have any questions regarding the fees, more information on how they are used or queries regarding payment amounts, please do not hesitate to contact the School Office for more information.

If one of your children will be attending a Catholic systemic school in 2020, please let Belinda know so the sibling discount can be applied.
