Our school is expected to function within its budget which is formulated on the fees collected but can only
do so if all families accept their responsibility and pay fees regularly. Fees can be paid yearly or monthly.
Each family will receive an account monthly and fees can forward to the school or paid to the school
secretary. This is billed over a ten-month school year.
The school office handles all accounts. Please note that our school fees are those recommended by the Catholic Education Council and are among the lowest in the Archdiocese.

Ground’s Person Levy
The levy for each child for 2011 will be $9.50 (no increase) per month X 10 and is included in the fee structure. This
levy pays for the wages of a grounds person.
Building Fund Levy
Because of the need to refurbish the school, it has become necessary to have a building fund levy. The
recommended building fund levy this year is will be $44 per family (increase of $2), per month X 10. This levy is no
longer tax deductible and is now part of the school fee structure. Funds raised by the levy can be used to
service loans, pay for maintenance, and cleaning and some administration charges associated with this.
Technology Levy
As we have a wider technology base to offer the children, we need to implement a levy on each child per
month to cover costs in regards to consumables and maintaining the network. Each family will be charged
$9 per child per month (increase of $); this will be included in monthly accounts.
P & F Levy
An $11 (no increase) monthly P & F Levy is included in the fees. This levy replaces fundraising such as raffles, pie
drives etc. The P & F operates a catering business as its primary source of income.
