Administration Reminders

School Fees & Frequently Asked Questions

REMINDERS FOR LATE PAYMENTS

These reminders are automatically generated based on the number of days a payment is overdue and are distributed by the Catholic Education Office.  For those families that may have difficulty in paying their school fees, these reminders may cause some distress. This is not our intention.  Our intention is to manage the collection of school fee accounts with new technology.

DIFFICULTY WITH PAYMENT

If you are experiencing financial difficulty and unable to increase your payments or pay, there are concessions available. We encourage you to contact St Joseph’s to discuss an arrangement that will assist you meet your commitments.  This includes the completion of a Diocesan Application for Fee Concession which is available from the holder on the wall at St Joseph’s finance office.  

Once the completed Fee Concession form is received, the school may be able to write off some of your outstanding fee balance. Be reassured that your situation will be treated with strict confidentiality and respect for your circumstances.  

See below some frequently asked questions:

Who do I speak to if I can't afford the Fees?
  • In the case of hardship, families are encouraged to seek an Application for Fee Concession from the school office.
  • On submission of the application with appropriate documentation, an interview with the principal will generally be made.

What is an Application for Fee Concession?

  • These applications are a formal way of applying for consideration in relation to hardship.
  • They provide information and evidence to support your claim so that consideration may be given to such concessions as reduced payments, extensions of time or redunction in school fees.
  • Fee concessions are reviewed annually and applications will be required to provide up to date financial information.
  • In the case of families attending more than one school, schools may share this information so that assistance can be consdiered across schools.
  • Concessions granted are generally based on your capacity to pay rather than set discounts.
