Enrolment Information
WELCOME
We are always excited to welcome new students and their families into our community. For more information, or to book a meeting and tour, please contact us.
We welcome all students and their families who share or respect our Catholic faith, values and traditions. Catholic education is supported by State and Federal funding, with families contributing the balance of the cost of educating their children. At times, some families are unable to meet their commitment to the full costs of education. As a Catholic school system, we ensure fee relief mechanisms are available to support families in time of need. We encourage these discussions on enrolment or as these needs emerge.

Student Departures and Withdrawals
Parents and guardians are reminded that early written notification of a student withdrawing during the school year is required. Where a student exits the school during a Term, fees are payable to end of the Term the student exited. Fee accounts will be adjusted pro-rata for tuition fees and the capital levy.
Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund
C.S.E.F. is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you hold a valid means-tested Health Care Card, Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, or Veteran Affairs Pensioner Gold Card or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for C.S.E.F.
How to Apply: Contact the school office to obtain a C.S.E.F. application form or download from below.
Support for the Cost of Education
Where families are eligible for the Camps, Sports and Excursion Funding, they can also apply for the Family Fee Assistance Scheme. Families that qualify for the scheme will pay $520 per annum ($10 per week) for primary school tuition fees and the capital levy.
How to Apply: Contact the school office to obtain a Family Fee Assistance Scheme application.
Further Support
If you have any concerns regarding payment of school fees, you are encouraged to discuss these at any time with the Principal or Business Manager. To arrange an appointment, please contact the office on 03 5585 1396.
It is a condition of enrolment that all families contribute to the cost of education. We recognise that circumstances may change, and it is an expectation that the fee payer will contact the school to negotiate an alternative payment plan or seek concessional support.
Debt Collection Procedures
As a last resort, the school will commence debt recovery or take legal action where no adequate response has been achieved from approaches for fee payment. Costs incurred by the school from such methods are fully recoverable from the Debtor. This is a last resort for the school but is necessary as a matter of justice for paying members of the school community and the financial sustainability of the school.
