At St Laurenceās our commitment remains focused on providing a high quality and inclusive Catholic education. School fees charged in Catholic schools supplement government funding that is a lesser amount than for students who attend public schools. The fees and levies charged at St Laurenceās provide for the costs associated with general operational
expenses, utilities, maintenance and the necessary administrative costs and resources required to run a primary school of our size.
Increase in fees and levies
Following a discernment process with the St Laurenceās Parish School Advisory committee and Catholic Education Willcania-Forbes, it has been determined that there will be an overall 3.5% increase in the fees and levies for 2026. This increase aligns with general inflation and the rising costs of proving resources. A rise in the resource levy accounts for an increase in staff wages and teacher hours.
Discounts
Sibling discounts are applied to the tuition fee only for the second (20%), third (30%) fourth and subsequent children (100%). Payments made prior to Monday March 9 2026 will be offered a 5% discount.
Concessions
There may be circumstances that prevent the full payment of school fees. Please make contact with our finance department for a confidential discussion and the development of a payment plan.
Costs not covered by fees and levies
Costs that are year level specific ( eg; representative sport travel, excursions, Year 6 Canberra and leadership shirts ) will be billed via Compass events and are to be paid when consent is given. Arrangements for payment plans can be arranged with the finance department if required.
