2022 Tuition Fee Reminder

We would like to thank families for their support in keeping school fees up to date. A reminder that full tuition fees are due on 16 December, 2022. If there are any concerns with payment by this date, please contact the Catholic Schools Office on 6653 1655 or email: cofhs-fees@lism.catholic.edu.au

2023 Tuition Fee Assistance

Supporting your children to obtain a Catholic education can present financial challenges for families. The Catholic Schools Office (CSO) recognises these challenges and aims to support this important education choice by families. 

It is expected that families, having chosen a Catholic education, have considered the payment of fees and payments are prioritised accordingly. However, when unexpected changes occur, short or long-term assistance may be required with the payment of tuition fees (non-compulsory fees are not covered under this scheme).  The nature of support provided is determined following an assessment of the financial circumstances of parents/guardians. Whilst aiming to support as many families as possible, it is important to recognise that not all will qualify. 

If you wish to apply for assistance in 2023, please download the application on the school’s website or click the link or a paper form will be available at the school office. All information is treated in the strictest confidence. As income and circumstances change from year to year, it is necessary to reapply annually if ongoing assistance is required. 

2023 Applications (and supporting documents) must be returned to the email noted on the application form no later than 30 November 2022. (If you have a child at both St John Paul College and a feeder primary school, please complete and lodge the application form with St John Paul College only).
