As a reminder of parents obligations when enrolling a child into a Catholic School, I will publish sections of the Parent Contract over the next few weeks. Please remind yourself of the obligations you committed to when signing the contract to join our wonderful community.

Fees, Levies and Charges

The Parent acknowledges that the School has the discretion to utilise formal collection or fee recovery processes should fees and/or charges remain outstanding for extended periods of time, if no other arrangements are put in place through an approved payment plan or the School’s fee concession processes.

15. Families may qualify for discounts if multiple children from the same family are enrolled in CECG schools under the School Fees and Levies Policy as amended from time to time.
