School Fees
The CSO, along with Principal representatives, have committed to moving the billing cycle to each family receiving an annual bill. These were distributed to families last week and replaces our current arrangement whereby families are billed school fees over Terms 1, 2 and 3.
The benefit of annual billing is that you will be able to see your full fee obligation for the year from early in Term 1 which will enable you to plan your payments. Please contact our office for assistance.
Your payment method can continue to be via direct debit with the CDF (Electronic form); BPay using the fee statement reference number; credit card over the counter, cash or by QKR.
- Each fee payer can tailor frequency of payments to suit individual circumstances
- Direct debit payment frequency options can be established as weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- BPay can be at your discretion and can be setup as an automated payment
A form from your school is attached to enable families to indicate payment frequency preference. We ask that families complete and return the form to each school in which they have a child enrolled and ensure payments commence prior to 31 March 2021 and are finalised by 30th November 2021.
Some fees such as excursions, incursions, sport, may continue to be charged separately during the course of the year prior to the event being held.
For students that leave our Diocesan school system during the year a credit will be issued. A refund will be granted where payments have been made in advance.
Statements will be issued regularly to allow monitoring of fee status.
Families can be assured we will continue to extend hardship concessions for those that need our assistance to pay their fees in accordance with current special consideration determination.
