School Fees
2023 School Fees
St Lucy’s are committed to supporting our parents the best way we can and therefore keep our fees as low as possible. Fees are payable in 3 instalments (term 1, 2 and 3).
Primary School (K-6)
$4968 p.a
High School (7-10)
$7058 p.a
High School (11-12)
$8417 p.a
It is a condition of entry that you must provide the school with 8 school weeks notice of a withdrawal of a student in writing to the principal. If not provided you will be charged for 8 school weeks.
Other costs
As well as the school fees there are some extra educational costs that parents are asked to meet, including uniforms and some class activities (which your permission will be sought). These include such items as:
• Senior students will have one, and in the case of St John’s Satellite Class, two camps to attend, which are charged separately.
• Some classes will go on excursions for a relatively small cost.
• Students participating in interschool sporting competition and in after school classes will meet these costs separately.
Payment Arrangement
From 2023 parents will pay St Lucy’s School Fees through the St Lucy’s Parent Lounge. Annual Fees will be charged in the second week in February. Through the Parent Lounge parents will be able to either pay up front or pay via weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments, with all payments paid by 30 November 2023. A 3% discount will be applied if Annual School Fees are paid up-front by 28 February 2023.
School Fees will be able to be paid direct debit from either a bank account or credit card. Premium and International Credit Cards will be charged banking fees.

We offer Bursary Assistance for those who need it. If you require assistance please contact our registrar at carolinef@stlucys.nsw.edu.au
Donations
Parents are reminded that St Lucy’s School fees are kept artificially low to ensure that parents on low incomes are not prevented from having their child attend. The result is a large operating deficit which St Lucy’s fills by asking for donations. We encourage parents who are able to pay more, to do so via a donation accompanying the fees. Donations are tax deductible.
“My highlight has been how happy and content my son is at school. And that I receive daily reports from his teacher.”
