Annual Diocesan Tuition Fees
Catholic schools aim to keep their fees as low as possible, and can provide flexible payment arrangements for families. Students who meet enrolment criteria will not be refused enrolment because of a family’s genuine inability to afford school fees.
School fees are set by the Parramatta Diocesan Schools Council each year. There are very significant discounts for the second (25% reduction) and third (50% reduction) children enrolled from the one family. There are no fees for the fourth and subsequent school children.
Diocesan School Fees are annual fees charged in Terms 1, 2 and 3 as follows:

Annual Diocesan Building levy
All families with one or more children in a Parramatta Diocesan school or at St Dominic's College, Kingswood are required to pay the annual Diocese of Parramatta Diocesan School Building Levy.
The levy for 2011 is $570 per family, payable in three equal instalments of $190 payable in terms one, two and three.
The money collected from the levy is paid into a fund from which building costs and loan repayments for these schools are paid. The levy is not tax deductible.
School-based Fees
There are other school fees such as enrolment, resources, subject, excursion and sports fees. These vary from school to school and are explained at the time of enrolment.
For further information contact the school office.
Scholarships
A scholarship fund has also been established to provide scholarships to eligible students. Catholic systemic school scholarships will be granted equitably based on need and merit.
