As a reminder of parents obligations when enrolling a child into a Catholic School, I will publish sections of the Parent Contract over the next few weeks. Please remind yourself of the obligations you committed to when signing the contract to join our wonderful community.

Student Conduct

8. The Parent will take steps to ensure, to the best of their ability, that the Student conducts themselves in a manner that does not cause physical or psychological harm to themselves or others.

Fees, Levies and Charges

9. The Parent will pay all school fees, levies and charges associated with the Student’s education at the School when the fees, levies and charges are due, unless the Parent has entered into an alternative arrangement that has been approved bythe School and/or has been approved for a feeconcession through the fee concession process atthe School.
10. School fees, levies and charges will be subject to change over the course of the Student’s enrolment and will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis at least. Where possible, the Parent will be notified of changes to fees and levies during the calendar year prior to changes being effected.
11. Where more than one Parent has signed this Enrolment Contract with the School in relation to the Student’s enrolment

a. each Parent is jointly and severally liable for School fees, levies and charges associated with the Student’s education;
b. an invoice will be issued to both Parents for 100% of the School fees, levies and charges unless the Parents have entered into a Split Billing Agreement per Schedule Two of this Enrolment Contract, and that Split Billing Agreement has been signed by both Parents and the Principal of the School or their delegate; and
c. if this occurs, the Parent will only be liable for their proportion of the School fees, levies and charges payable under the Split Billing Agreement.

12. Any subsequent Split Billing Agreements between the Parents are effective only if signed by both Parents and the Principal (or their delegate). The Split Billing Agreement is effective from the date set out in the Split Billing Agreement.
13. Subject to the terms of any Split Billing Agreement, the Parent will pay any and all outstanding fees, levies and charges incurred by the Parent whilst the Student is a student at the School, even after the Student is no longer enrolled at the School. This includes any expenses incurred by the School as a result of late or non-payment by the Parent, or any associated charges incurred through formal collection or fee recovery processes. The School reserves the right to charge an administration fee in the case of late payments.
