Tuition Fees are utilised to meet the operating costs of the school and we appreciate the commitment in making payment of school fees. Fees are essential for the school to provide quality education for all students. We ask families to make full payment of school fees within one month of fees being issued. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments may be made to assist with budgeting for families. Please review current repayments made to assist in covering the full year’s fees. Our school Bursar, Mrs Megan Hines, is willing to assist in discussing appropriate repayments to avoid shortfalls at the end of the year. 

Term 4, 2020 saw the implementation of our school's new accounting system, therefore invoices and statements will look different this year.  If you do have any queries or concerns in relation to this, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Megan Hines to discuss.

Payments can be paid at the office by cash, cheque or EFTPOS. Alternatively internet banking can be directly deposited into the following bank account;

Account Name — St Joseph’s School

Annual School Fees – if you choose to pay your fees annually, a 5% discount on Tuition Fees only will be applied (full payment of the annual fee must be paid within one month of invoice date to receive this discount). Please notify Mrs Megan Hines by email at Megan.Hines@twb.catholic.edu.au or phone 4681 5903 with a request for your fees to be billed as an annual fee by 12th February 2021. Please advise your decision even if this option was selected last year as families may not choose this option this year.

A Family Contribution Fund fee of $125 is added to Term 3 School Fees to families who choose not to assist with at least two school events/activities throughout the school year.

We encourage new and current families to contribute their time to the school.
