School Fees & Levies
Fee accounts shall clearly state the terms and methods of payment. These should be paid within fourteen (14) days. Flexibility of payment methods is available e.g. weekly, monthly or quarterly. Payment by credit card, direct debit, cash or cheque is available. Please contact the school office to make suitable arrangements.
Parents who experience difficulty in paying fees and levies are asked to make an appointment to see the Principal so alternative arrangements can be made. Concessions from fees are kept in the strictest confidence and it should be noted that the inability to pay school fees should never be a reason for denying a child an education in a Catholic school.

Building Fund Levy
Catholic Education, Diocese of Rockhampton has established a Diocesan School Building Fund, which will be used to fund construction and maintenance costs for all primary schools in the Diocese.
Specific Purpose Charges
These costs are additional to school based levies. Additional charges apply for specific purposes eg. Arts council, travel and accommodation related to school field trips and camps, excursions and transport to swimming pool.
Concession Card Discount
In 2017 Catholic Education introduced a means-tested concession card discount. Parents/carers with an eligible means-tested Australian government health care or pensioner concession card will automatically receive a 70% discount to tuition fees (does not apply to school levies). This initiative is intended to assist those families who genuinely do not have the financial capacity to pay tuition fees in full.
