College Levy

The College Levy is the portion of fees that covers costs associated with general resources (eg. subject and school consumables) and facilities such as information technology support. It includes cover for all excursions and cohort retreats and camps, transportation to school carnivals and replaces the previous $20 limit.  This will ensure all students are able to attend all excursions covered under College Levy. Parents will not be asked to financially contribute further to these activities.  The levy also meets the day-to-day operational costs of the College including utilities, grounds improvements and maintenance program.

Annual Building Levy

The School Building Levy will be phased in over the next three years and replaces the Optional Building Levy. It has been established by the Catholic Education Commission in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn and it supports the insurance and maintenance obligations of the College. The Commission has provided a communication on this that can be read here.

Year 12 Fees

Year 12 fees have been established to ensure equity for all year 12 students irrespective of their course of study or when they choose to conclude their study. The total annual fees are invoiced in three instalments, over three terms rather than four terms. The fee also provides all graduating students with a formal ticket and yearbook.

Year 12 School Fees must be paid by the end of September 2024.
