School Fees

We understand the financial demands placed on household budgets and we are committed to keeping fees as low as possible.

There are three components of annual school fees, billed in instalments during Terms 1, 2 and 3.

Diocesan Building Levy

Set by CSPD

One per family

Diocesan Tuition Fees

Set by CSPD

Sibling discounts apply.
Diocesan fees after your third enrolled child are free.

School Fees

Set by school

As a guide, our fees are around $8–$9 a day for Kindergarten* - less than the cost of many daily essentials such as buying lunch or parking.

*The above-mentioned fees have been calculated over 365 days for one child using the current Diocesan tuition fee, Diocesan building levy and an average of the school-based fees. It does not include the cost of a school uniform.

We are here to help

If your family is experiencing genuine financial hardship, your child’s enrolment will not be refused because you’re unable to pay fees. There are a range of school fee relief options available for families.
