Fees: student fees are billed each term except for Year 12 where the billing is spread over only three bills. Fees may be paid in cash, card, cheque and direct debit.
Fees: At this time of the year parents may be comparing fees charged by St. Edmund's College against fees of other colleges. These comparisons can be misleading.
St. Edmund's fees are inclusive of nearly all school activities including retreats, camps and co curricular activities. If your son is involved in football for St. Edmund's you do not have to put your hand in your pocket for registration, insurance etc. If your son goes on a Year 7 retreat you do not have to put your hand in your pocket to pay the camp fees.
This is far different from other colleges where extra charges are the norm not the exception.
The college has a simplified fee arrangement of tuition, general levy and co curricular plus a voluntary building levy.
Each level of schooling has a consistent fee structure e.g. Year 4 to Year 6 have the same fee structure.
Fees can be paid by instalment, direct debit, credit card or cash and in 2009 it is planned to introduce payment via the college's web site.
