CONCESSIONS - 2024

FAMILY FEE ASSISTANCE SCHEME - Tuition fee Discounts

In all Ballarat Diocesan Catholic Primary Schools, tuition fee discounts are available to families eligible for a means tested Health Care Card, Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card or Veteran Affairs Pensioner Card. The scheme offers tuition fee discounts to both Catholic and non-Catholic families, to new and current students. Although a family may be eligible to receive a fee discount, families may choose not to apply for the fee discount and pay the full school fee. The Family Fee Assistance Scheme will be implemented across all Ballarat Diocesan Catholic Primary Schools. Families that qualify for the scheme will pay $520 per annum ($10 per week) for primary school tuition fees. In 2024 an annual discount of $1305.00 (pro-rata) will be applied to the Family Tuition Fee. Please obtain an application form from Doris if you wish to apply for the Family Fee Assistance Scheme. A copy of your current valid card is required with your application form. Card must be valid as at 29th January 2024.

CSEF will be provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. The allowance will be paid to the school to use towards expenses related to camps, excursions, or sporting activities for the benefit of your child. The annual CSEF amount per students will be $125 for primary school students. Application forms will be available from the office.
