Fees Policy

Tuition fee statements are emailed out before the start of each term and payment is due by the due date. A late fee administration fee of $110 may apply if payment is not received by the due date. The College policy is to pursue all fees outstanding, including any costs incurred in the debt recovery process. All fees for Years 5 – 12 are payable by instalments each year. Payment is due by the due date unless other arrangements have been agreed to by the Finance Office.

It is a condition of enrolment that all financial obligations are honoured.

Sibling Discount:

When more than one son is attending St Pius X, the following discounts apply to the tuition fee component only:

  • 2nd son – 10%
  • 3rd son – 20%
  • 4th son – 20%

Withdrawal:

One term’s notice, in writing, must be given for withdrawal of a student. In the absence of such notice the equivalent of a full term’s fees plus 10% GST will be charged.

Fee Discounts:

The College assumes that you appreciate the importance of the payment of school fees. The College is not in a position to offer discounts other than sibling discounts (see Schedule of Fees for details). Our fee structure for such a large and well resourced College is quite low by the standards of most Catholic Independent schools.

Billings & Payments

Fee statements are emailed out before the start of each term.  Payment can be made via BPAY from a bank account or BPoint from a credit card via the College website. To further facilitate payment a standing authority for the College to charge a credit card may be completed which will allow the College to effect payment on the due dates.

The College currently does not impose a surcharge on payment via credit card. Credit cards accepted: Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
