SCHOOL CARD DISCOUNT

The School Card discount is NOT automatic. At the beginning of each year you must apply to the Department of Education, Training & Employment (DETE) and receive official notification that you are eligible for the School card benefit, before the School can make concession. You can visit the DECS website for up-to-date information about School Card.

Note that the information on the DECS website is updated each January.

The tuition fee will be invoiced at the full rate until such time as official notification of eligibility is received by the School.

Please contact the school for the appropriate Application Form and due dates for lodgement. The lodgement dates and Application Forms will not be available until the end of January.

To assist themselves and the school, we urge families who believe they could qualify for school card to complete the appropriate application forms.
