School Fees

Sydney Catholic Schools is committed to ensuring that every student has access to a Catholic education and that genuine financial hardship should never be a barrier. Sydney Catholic Schools are funded through a legislated needs-based model that ensures resources are allocated fairly to support all students. Learn more about how this works here.

Tuition fees are charged for all Sydney Catholic Schools’ primary schools and secondary colleges, and vary according to the area in which the school is located.

In addition to tuition fees, there are:

  • School-based charges set by each school to cover materials for specific subjects, teaching resources, excursions, specialist sports, and school-based costs (may include camps and swim programs).
  • A building levy that contributes to building and maintenance, charged to the eldest sibling in the family attending a Sydney Catholic systemic school.

The school fees for 2027 are listed below:

1 First child fees include Building Levy.
2 Second child includes 10% Tuition Fee discount.
3 Third child includes 35% Tuition Fee discount.
4 Fourth child includes 100% Tuition Fee discount.

Additional fees may be incurred for selected events or optional programs, including but not limited to user‑pay subject costs, band, and representative sports. Schools will endeavour to keep these costs to a minimum.

The fees above do not apply to full-fee paying overseas students. Please contact the school office for further information.

Payments

School Fees are invoiced annually at the beginning of each school year. All fees must be paid in full by the due date shown on the fee statement.

The payment instalment frequency for school fees is set to ‘monthly’ as a default. Parents/Carers have the option to nominate their preferred payment method, please contact your child’s school office to change the instalments to either termly (over the first 3 terms), monthly or fortnightly.
