School Fees
There are four types of fees at St Joseph's
School Fees
School Fees are charged per family, per year.
In 2017, the fee will be $840 per family.
Accounts are sent out monthly.
Fees may be paid yearly, half yearly, termly, fortnightly or weekly.
Fees can be direct debited out of your bank account.
Maintenance Levy
A levy has been set at $25.00 per term ($100.00 per year), per family
Technology Levy
$100.00 per child - This covers the use of an iPad in the classroom and all other technology costs in grades prep/1/2/6
and the $100 in Grade 3/4/5 goes to the cost of the students owning their own individual iPads.
These iPads become the responsibility of the individual student/parent from the beginning of Grade 3.
Pupil Requisite Levy
$150.00 per child which covers all the expenses associated with your child’s classroom programme including
all classroom materials your child will use during the school year, art supplies and sports equipment,
school performances, maintenance of our school library (new books), computer software
and associated licenses and any other school costs that arise.
Excursion Levy
$100 per child which covers the cost of day excursions, 3/4/5/6 school camp, incursions and bus costs for sports days etc.
The School Fees and Pupil Requisite Levy are reviewed by the School Board at the end of each year,
at which time the fees and levies for the ensuring year are set.
Cost for 1 child $1290.00 $1290 per child
Cost for 2 children $1640.00 $ 820 per child
Cost for 3 children $1990.00 $ 663.33 per child
Cost for 4 children $2340.00 $ 585 per child
The School Fees themselves are an important part of the school’s overall financial plan. Not
only are they a sign of your deliberate commitment to provide a Catholic education to your child/children,
but they are also a prerequisite if the school is to be eligible for Government funding.
The Federal and State Governments both require that independent schools raise a set
amount per pupil each year. School fees are one aspect of this local contribution. The balance
of the amount comes from Parish contributions, donations and local fund raising.
We are grateful for the important work of the Auxiliary in this area.
You are asked therefore to give careful consideration to the way
in which you intend to honour this commitment.
