There may be some families who don’t enrol their children in Catholic schools because of concerns about the level of fees and levies charged. 

Catholic schools are accessible to all families willing to support the Catholic ethos regardless of their personal, financial and pastoral circumstances. No child will be denied a place in a Catholic school because of financial hardship.

Reduced fees and levies are available to families holding a valid concession card. (Click here to download Concession Card information).  (Click here to download the Concession Card Application form). 

Families who are interested in Catholic education and feel they could benefit from financial support are encouraged to contact the College. Our Finance Officer is available to discuss issues around fee payment. All enquiries are managed sensitively and within privacy guidelines.
