2025 Annual Tuition Fee and Foundation Levy Billing Notice

Tuition Fees:

Your 2025 School Fee Statement was issued this week. It includes your annual tuition fees, levies and any balances carried forward from last year.

This statement also confirms your chosen payment plan and scheduled due dates gathered in a survey in Term 4, 2024. If you missed the survey, or no payment preference was indicated we have set your plan to quarterly payments as the default option. If you wish to make a change to the payment plan, please email cofhs-finance@lism.catholic.edu.au or cofhs-fees@lism.catholic.edu.au, thank you.

Please note, the statement does not include fees for elective subjects - these will be billed separately in Term 2, 2025. Payments for events and excursions that are not part of annual fees will continue to be processed through the Compass app.
