Our commitment to our school families is to offer a high quality
Catholic education that is accessible and affordable
School Fees for 2023
We are pleased to inform our school families that there will be no increase in school fees for the 2023 school year.
As South Australians continue to feel the impact of COVID-19, Catholic Education SA has announced it will freeze fees at its 86 Diocesan schools for the 2023 school year.
“These decisions are part of our continued COVID 19 response as we seek to support families at a time when they are being impacted by rising costs and inflation,” says Dr Neil McGoran, Director, Catholic Education SA.
Since 2019, Catholic Education SA has been implementing the Making Catholic Education More Affordable Initiative to ensure our schools are accessible to any family who wants their child to have a Catholic education.
Dr Neil McGoran said the fee-freeze would not impact the quality of education.
“We’re committed to keeping school fees as low as possible and ensuring a Catholic education is affordable and accessible to all.”
In addition to the fee-freeze, further fee remissions are available to any family who is struggling to pay school fees due to financial pressures. Families should contact our bursar Jayne Clarke for more information.
Annual School Fees 2022
Full Fee | $2,600 |
Lower Income Fee | $1,560 |
What is included:
The tuition fee above covers all tuition, levies and charges for each child's education.
Extracurricular activities, camps, and uniforms are excluded and will be charged separately.
Lower Income Fee:
To be eligible for the lower income fee, you need to qualify as a low income family. This is determined by your family's gross income and is a $ value set by the State Government.
In 2022, your family's gross income needs to be below approximately $60,261 for a family with one school-aged child. (The limit will vary depending on how many dependent children you have).
Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government's School Card Scheme.
Our finance manager can help you if you have any questions about applying for the lower income fee.
Need help with School Fees?
If you are concerned about your ability to pay school fees, we strongly encourage you to have a discussion with us. We believe a family's financial circumstances should not be a barrier to a student accessing a Catholic Education.
