School Fees

The Catholic Education Commission sets school Tuition and Building Fund fees for all ACT Catholic Schools annually. As well as these payments, the St Anthony’s School Board sets an Operations fee, Resource fee, an Excursion/Activities fee, ICT fee and a Year Book/Calendar fee. These payments are part of the process of setting the annual school budget.

The Resource fee refers to all stationery, text materials, classroom paper, art & craft materials and sundry items purchased for the children and the classes.

The Operations fee refers to the costs associated with running the school itself. These include cleaning, groundsman, electricity, phone, mowing, waste disposal, loan repayments, administration costs, office stationery, etc.

The Excursion fee covers all excursions, special school activities, Book Week guests, visiting performers, and costs of St Anthony’s athletics and cross country carnivals, and swimming.

The ICT Fee assists the school to provide students with access to current technology as well as filtered internet access. It also contributes to the cost of peripherals which enhance learning and teaching.
