School Fees
As you are aware, Catholic Education implemented a new finance system across the Archdiocese last year (you will have noticed new style statements issued monthly, along with a new Bpay reference for your family).
The next stage of the implementation involves changes in the way families are invoiced. Catholic Education will publish primary school fees as one amount per child from now on. CE sibling discounts are calculated and automatically applied to your account by CE, using information held in the system database (Compass). Camps will be invoiced by the school through our Compass Event payment system.
I understand billing is slightly different for systemic high schools.
Voluntary Building Fund
As per previous communication, Building Fund is no longer automatically invoiced to family accounts.
- An email will be sent from donotreply-accounts@cg.catholic.edu.au email address. This is an authentic CECG email address and is not SPAM.
- An Opt-In email will be sent to both parents and take the result chosen by the first parent. Split families will receive separate emails for their split %
- Each family will be requested to either select “Yes” or “No” regarding their intention to contribute to the Building Fund.
- The amount and frequency will be locked to $210 per Term, however, an additional area has been included that will enable a family to contribute an additional amount if they wish to do so.
- Families can amend the Receipt details if they are contributing, i.e., for tax purposes.
Mother Teresa School Fees 2024
The Catholic Education Office determines the Archdiocesan School Fees for 2024. The school retains only a small portion of this fee. The Catholic Education Office retains the majority of the collected amount. Fees are structured in two parts.
CATHOLIC EDUCATION FEES per child per year Kinder to Year 6 $3858.00
Discounts apply for second and subsequent children in systemic primary schools and when a sibling attends one of the following systemic secondary colleges: St John Paul College, Merici College, St Clare's College, St Francis Xavier College and St Mary MacKillop College.
Please note that Marist, St Edmund's and Daramalan Colleges are NOT systemic schools and no discounts apply when older siblings attend these schools.
Fee Remission
Parents experiencing significant financial difficulties may apply for assistance with fees. The application form is available on request from the Principal or Finance Manager. Applications will be assessed using guidelines set by Catholic Education. All applications are kept in strictest confidence. A fee remission is only valid for the calendar year of application.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding school fees for 2024, please do not hesitate to contact Carmel Maguire or Donna Betts

The preferred payment method for school fees is Bpay. You may choose to set up a recurring weekly, fortnightly or monthly Bpay payment. You will find our Bpay Biller Code and your individual Reference Number on your statement. Other payment methods are EFTPOS, Credit Card or CompassPay.
