SCHOOL FEES and OTHER COMPULSORY FEES by virtue of belonging to the Catholic community, children have a right to education in our Catholic School.
Parents choosing to exercise that right on behalf of their children accept the consequence of obtaining funds to cover the cost involved in providing such education. That portion of cost not covered by Government Grant is principally met by the charging of school fees. [Full School fee Policy us available upon request]
