Fees
School Fees Policy and Practice 2024
The Bishops of Western Australia have approved the collection of school fees from parents as a necessary contribution to the costs of delivering a Catholic education. Although Catholic schools receive government assistance, fees constitute an essential proportion of the school income.
The school aims to keep fees to a minimum so that parents will be encouraged to enrol their children without undue hardship.
Should you choose to pay your fees through direct debit, this document explains your obligations when entering an agreement with St Michael’s:
Primary School Fees for 2024
Amenities fees are charged to assist the school to cover the costs of consumable items that are used in class programs.
The Building Levy per family per annum contributes to capital improvements at St Michael’s.
The Technology Levy is a per child amount to fund the ongoing replacement of computer equipment in the school. It is part of a long-term plan that will help to ensure the students have available reliable and sufficient numbers of up-to-date computers in the classroom.
Swimming fees include entry to the Leschenault Leisure Centre Pool and bus fare.
