Dear Parents and Carers,

School Fees for 2021

Careful consideration has been taken in reviewing the fees for 2021 to continue to support our school’s requirements whilst keeping increases manageable for families in the current economic environment.

I can now advise you that in 2021, our total fee for a single student will be $1020.00 per term.

Our fee combines tuition and school levies and will help to keep pace with rising salary and costs to ensure our school continues to deliver the quality education for our students that you would expect. The School Community Council has agreed not to raise the school and student resource levy for 2021.

Please see below the schedule of fees for 2021.

As always, if fees create financial concern for you, I encourage you to make an appointment with me to discuss how we can help. It is a policy in the Archdiocese that no student should be refused enrolment, excluded or disadvantaged because their family is unable to afford fees. Any discussion on fees would be strictly confidential.

If you have any questions regarding school fees for 2021 please contact me.

Staffing

Nicole Mikkonen, our Assistant Principal, will be taking leave as of Monday. Nicole will return to STM in Term 4 next year. Interviews for the Acting Assistant Principal have taken place and I hope to inform you in next week’s newsletter as to who will be replacing Nicole. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Nicole all the very best whilst on leave and I look forward to welcoming her back late next year.

Remembrance Day

At 11am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. As the world welcomed peace, thousands returned home to much fanfare, and their loved ones. Thousands more never made the journey home. Next Wednesday the school will gather for Remembrance Day. Unfortunately, we cannot have parents in attendance this year. Brenda Galvin will run the liturgy.

Affirmations

This Friday we will hand out affirmations to students who make a positive contribution to our school. 

Yours Sincerely,

Julie Wiley
Principal
