Finance Office Update
Dear Parents & Caregivers
Term 1 Fees Invoice due: 28 February 2025 – Overdue
Overdue Fee process:
In fairness to families who pay their school fees regularly and on time, our school will follow up all overdue accounts. If you do not have a current direct debit or regular payment set up and have an outstanding balance due on your account, the collection process will commence – as per below.
- An account of full fees and levies will be issued by the school at the beginning of the year. School fees are due for payment at the end of Week 5 in Terms 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
- A reminder SMS will be sent, followed by an email to any family with an outstanding account past the due date of the relevant term account. It is the responsibility of the fee payer to advise the school if they have not received emails for their fees.
- Should any arrangements to vary the conditions for payment need to be made please contact the school office so this can be organised.
- Parents/carers with accounts outstanding at the end of Term will be contacted by the Finance Secretary, Principal or their representatives.
- Should the account remain outstanding, the school will contact the parent/carer to organise a meeting with the Principal, at a mutually agreeable time. The meeting will include a discussion of the issues surrounding fee payment and to reach an agreement on payment conditions.
- If the parent/carer does not communicate with the school office or the Principal about the outstanding account, the Principal will decide the necessary action, which may include referral to a debt recovery agency.
Where a parent/carer finds themselves in financial difficulty due to changed financial circumstances, an Application for Fee Concession can be made, please contact the school office for further information.
If you have any questions about school fees or your account, please contact me on 07 4637 1700 or email accounts@sspstwb.catholic.edu.au
All the best.
