The School invoices all fees as an annual charge in February. The account will itemise all applicable charges for the full school year, thus enabling parents to budget for the year.

The School’s fee structure and controlled budget relies on payment of school fees promptly. With this in mind we have available a number of payment options and methods.

This fee covers many of the incidental costs that arise during the school year. It will cover some of the costs associated with printing, special art and craft lessons and other similar activities. It is not set to increase the amount of school fees collected but to cover costs that would usually need to be collected during a normal school year.

Each family is charged a P&F Levy to assist the Parents and Friends Association in carrying out the many activities they take on during the year that enhances the education and facilities for every student attending St Joseph’s.

Each family is required to pay a levy towards the debt servicing of the school’s capital works. This covers a small proportion of the total debt servicing of the school. This levy is not tax deductible.

This levy is used to increase and upgrade our provision of IT for the students’ education. IT is a resource that needs constant upgrading and the associated costs are supplemented from the school’s budget. The understanding and use of IT is embedded across the curriculum and is an essential learning tool for all students.

St Joseph’s has a Student Accident Insurance Policy covering all students, 24 hours per day/365 days per year, for lump sum benefits for Non Medicare claimable items. It is strongly recommended that parents check their general insurance policies to ensure adequate property and liability insurance cover for their children. St Joseph’s does not accept responsibility for any claim to property loss or damage incurred by students or parents.

Students from Pre-Primary to Year Six attend interm swimming lessons each year. The costs for pool entrance and transport are charged for each student. Swimming tuition is free.

This camp is held every year at the an external location. A camp fee is included with the annual school fee account.
