The Catholic Parish of St William’s Grovely in association with the educational vision of the Archdiocese of Brisbane seeks to offer a Catholic education for its children. St Andrew’s school has been established to provide excellence in education that is Catholic in its goal, wholistic in its scope and pastoral in its process.
It is necessary for St Andrew’s to collect school fees to cover financial costs in meeting the goals of the school and the parents who choose Catholic education for their children.
School fees cover basic tuition, maintenance and development of school buildings and the provision of specialist tuition. To sustain quality Catholic education at St Andrew’s, it is agreed by parents at enrolment, that full school fees and levies are payable when the school accepts the enrolment of their child.
The St Andrew’s Finance Committee set school fees annually taking into account the Archdiocesan recommended minimum fee and the local circumstances of the community.
We recognize that in particular circumstances from time to time parents may need an avenue for discussion and mutual decision with school personnel about the procedure and capacity to pay the given fees. The Parish has placed the role of fee management with the Principal of the school. The Principal will access the advice and consult with other appropriate authorities within the school, the parish and Catholic Education in determining just decisions about the level of school fees in any particular year and in discussion with any particular parent or family in regard to the payments of fees.
