SCHOOL FEES - 2025

The first point that needs to be made in relation to the payment of school fees at Emmaus is that no family need ever be excluded from our school due to financial considerations.

The Emmaus Community Leadership Team has approved the 2025 School Fees.

FAMILY FEES

The Family Fee is to cover the running costs of the school, to assist with capital works, maintenance of buildings and grounds, loan repayments and so on.

STUDENT LEVIES

The Student Levies are to cover costs associated with curriculum, excursions, swimming, camps, technology, subscriptions, stationery, books, art and craft materials, equipment etc.

OTHER ITEMS

YEAR 6 POLO: $69.00 Each Year 6 student can purchase a specially designed school hoodie. Please note that these can worn instead of the regular jumpers.

2025 School Fee Agreements

Each family will receive a digital 2025 Fee Payment Agreement via PAM before the end of the school year. The document will also be available in hardcopy at the front office. We recommend that families take advantage of setting up regular direct debit or credit card payments. If you have any questions or should you wish to discuss your fees confidentially, please contact Rachel by phone on 5330 2266 or email finance@emtclear.catholic.edu.au.

Fees payment methods are:

Direct debit from nominated savings/cheque account

Direct debit from credit card

Electronic funds transfer (EFT) to school’s bank account via internet banking

Direct credit to the school’s bank account from your employer

Payment by cash / cheque at school office

Families are asked to complete a fee agreement at the end of each year nominating a preferred method of payment, and the frequency of payments. Fees can be paid fortnightly, monthly, each term or annually.

Direct debit fee payment dates can be found HERE .
