2007 School Fees

The School fees have three components:

1)  Tuition Fees:

The School uses these funds to run the College in terms of paying salaries and expenses.  There is a slight increase in the college fees over last year’s fees to help us meet the price increases experienced this year.  We can offer some discount for families with more than one child. This year’s fees are as follows:

       Primary:    All Grades: $1163 + $1080 (Bus Fees) = $2243 (Including Building Fund)

       Secondary: Years 7 & 8: $1505 + $1080 (Bus Fees) = $2585 (Including Building Fund)                       

                       Years 9 & 10: $1644 + $1080 (Bus Fees) = $2724 (Including Building Fund)

                       Year 11 & 12: $1920 + $1080 (Bus Fees) = $3000 (Including Building Fund)

2)  Subject Levy:

The Subject Levy of $185 per child (primary) and $80 (secondary) is not part of the school fees and must be paid in full before the start of the year.

This is the direct cost of materials such as books, excursions and special events that the college buys on behalf of your child.  The College does not generate any profit from these funds, as these are direct costs.  Because these are direct costs to us we cannot offer discounts on the Subject Levy with families with more than one child.  The Subject Levy must be paid by the start of 2007 school year.  Teachers are not able to hand over the necessary materials to students unless the Subject Levy is paid.  The College purchases these items on behalf of the students. 

3)  Bus Fees:

The College bus service is $270 per term per student paid in advance.  We will offer a sibling discount for this service as set out below. The use of the bus is optional you may wish to drive your child/children to school if you feel it is more economical for you. Due to the increase of costs in providing a bus service we have now imposed a NO Ticket NO Ride System. 

 

Family Discount Policy:

At St. Anthony's, we realise that having more than one child in your family can amount to a substantial school fees bill, therefore, we operate on the following discount basis:

Number of Children at School

    Discount for each Child

1

     Full Fees (No Discount)

2

10% off tuition & bus fees

3

20% off tuition & bus fees

           4 or more

30% off tuition & bus fees

Fee Relief:  The college will do all it can to help families in true financial hardship. A fee relief form must be filled out by no later than February 24th, 2007 together with proof or statement of income and expenditure.  The College has no funds to compensate for fee relief but forgoes income to help families in need.  Fee relief is not retrospective but only takes effect from the time the form is lodged. 

Late fees:  Fees must be paid in on time.  The College will impose a 9% p.a. late fee for overdue fees to cover our administration fees.

Additional Charge: 

Families need to budget also for swimming ($60 approx.) and camps (up to $135 approx.).

Fees are an Obligation:  The College’s fee structure allows the College to continue to offer its services to your children.  The enrolment of your child or children into the College is taken as your acceptance and undertaking that you will pay your fees in full and on time.  Your child’s continuing enrolment in the College depends on you meeting your obligation.

Payment Options:  At St. Anthony we offer three types of payment options unless a special arrangement is made with the Office.

1.     Full payment: A once off payment at the start of the year, will entitle you to a 5% discount if paid by the due date (Tuesday 20th February 2007).

2.     Term payment:  Four payments, which are due in the 4th week of each term.

3.  Monthly payments:  10 payments (February-November).

Forms are enclosed for your selection of payment and must be completed and returned to   the School before the start of the school year.

           Payment Methods:

We can accept Cash, Cheques, Bankcard, Visa Card, Master Card and EFTPOS.  You may also wish to pay directly into the College Bank Account or via the Internet.
