Fee Schedule
St Paul's & Sacred Heart are both primary schools of the Sacred Heart Parish. As such their fees are the same and are set on an annual basis in consultation with the Parish Priest and both principals. The fee structure is "family friendly". Payment options (cash, cheque, eftpos, direct debit, direct credit, Centrepay) are designed to give families flexibility to budget in order to meet their fee commitments.
The 2023 School Fees are:

3. Technology Levy of $80 per student, per year. This is used to assist with the maintenance, purchasing, programming and updates of ICT equipment which is used by all students.
4. Student Levy of $290 per student, per year.
