School Fees

Thank you to the many families who have either paid or put in place payment arrangements. A reminder that the first payment of fees is now due. If you have not yet made a payment or have entered into a payment plan, please contact the Finance Office on 9331 9307. Fee Statements were emailed to all families on 16 December 2022. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact the Business Manager on 9331 9303 to discuss your circumstances.

Camps, Sports, Excursion Fund

If you hold a current Health Care Card as at 31 January 2023, you may be eligible for the Camp, Sports and Excursion Fund. An application form was included in the email with the Fee Statements. If you require assistance completing this form, please call the Finance Office on 9331 9307.

Families who have received this funding in the past from Ave Maria College do not need to reapply unless you have a child who commenced at the College in 2023.

Successful applicants will receive a grant of $225.00 from the State Government. This amount plus a further discount from the College will be applied as a credit on your fee statement.

Canteen

The College Canteen provides a valuable service to our community. For this service to meet the needs of the students, we rely on the assistance of volunteers from our parents and other members of our community. If you can assist, we would like to hear from you. Hours of duty can be as little as 1.5 hours to half a day. Please email Anthony.Kirley@avemaria.vic.edu.au with your expression of interest. An information pack will then be sent to you
