Please note that fees for VCE and VCAL programs are charged for the full year regardless of whether your son sits exams or not and regardless of completion date. Where students leave the College during the year a pro rata credit for tuition and capital fees will be granted where this is confirmed in writing prior to the commencement of Term 4.
A Capital fee of $890 per family will apply. Funds raised from the capital fee are used for the development of facilities for all students at the College. As the capital fee is a compulsory levy no receipt for taxation purposes is available.
To facilitate student learning the College makes available a variety of eResources, eTextbooks and other electronic resources. To cover the cost of these resources the following amounts will appear on your account based on the subjects your son is undertaking.
To facilitate the ongoing maintenance and upgrade of the IT infrastructure of the College, an IT levy of $80 per student will be applied.
The tuition fee covers costs related to College tuition, administration, most subject levies, camps, excursions and other incidental costs. The tuition fee does not cover optional aspects of the College’s program or services provided such as music lessons, rowing, some extra-curricular activities, non-compulsory tours and camps or damage to College property. These expenses will be charged if and as required at various times through the year to the College account.
A Capital levy of $500 will apply for each boarding student. As the fee is a compulsory charge no receipt for taxation purposes is available. Funds used from the Shamrock Association Fee will be used for the development of boarding facilities at the College.
Parents of students who elect to participate in an external Ballarat Schools Cluster VETiS course will be required to pay the difference between the course cost and the Catholic Education Funding for that particular course. This funding difference will appear as an external VET levy on your tuition statement. At this stage the exact cost is not available, however, based on figures this cost difference is anticipated to range between $750 and $2,000. Parents of students who elect to participate in VET may also be required to pay an additional materials levy which will appear as ‘VET materials levy’ on your tuition statement.
The College is currently in the process of reviewing its Building Master Plan to ensure students are provided with state-of-the-art learning facilities. Building works flowing from this planning will be funded by a combination of borrowing, family contributions, donations and government grants. Families wishing to assist the College may make a voluntary donation to the Building Fund and a receipt for taxation purposes will be forwarded.

Parents are reminded that four weeks written notification of a student withdrawing during the College year is required. If such notice is not received a “Departure without notice” payment of four weeks’ tuition fees will be charged to your fee account.
With the written approval of the Headmaster students may participate in a student exchange program and will be charged 25% of the annual tuition fee, as a retaining fee for the duration of their absence in order to retain their place at the College.
