School Fees & Capital Levy – charged per family
There has been a modest increase to all of the 2023 fees and charges and a change to the Capital Levey to include a Maintenance component. Our new Fee structure has been approved and endorsed by our School Advisory Council.
School Fee $ 1,640
- Our School Fee is a Family fee and is charged only once per year no matter how many children are in your family. Similarly the Capital and Maintenance Levy is only charred per family.
Capital and Maintenance Levy $ 365
- The Capital and Maintenance Levy assists with paying the loans for all of the works that have been completed around the school. At present we are servicing approximately seven million dollars of loans. The Maintenance component of this Levy will assist us in the upkeep of the gardens and grounds and externals of the buildings. This means we will ot be asking you to come to any Working Bees.
Student Curriculum Levy
Prep to Year 2: $440
- The Individual Fee includes a Technology Levy for the use of iPads in our junior classes which now have a ratio better than 1 iPad per two children. The Individual Fee in the Prep – Year 2 includes all classroom requirements, excursion and incursion costs and costs associated with various curriculum areas.
Year 3 to 6: $950
- To make budgeting easier for our Year 3 – 6 families we have included our camp fee ($400) and iPad charge ($150) into our Individual Fee. Like the Prep – Year 2 the Individual Fees cover everything. However, in Year 3 – 6 they do not cover the children’s individual selection of pencils, textas etc. This levy also includes any associated Sacramental program costs.
Curriculum levies must be paid in full by the end of term one unless they form part of a direct debit arrangement (see below).
