2020 SCHOOL FEES

Fee statements for Term 2 have been emailed to the fee payers email address nominated at our school.  Please ensure your email address details are up to date and notify us of any changes immediately.

We have been mindful of the financial impact experienced by our families. The Diocese has established an online form to either defer your school fee payments or to apply for a COVID Concession to reduce your school fees. This process is still available to our families, please apply via the below link or check your latest Compass notification. Any issues please contact Leanne.

We are appreciative of those families who have continued paying their fees and those who will shortly resume their commitment to school fees. Part of the annual fees that parents pay is the Sports Levy.  This levy covers the Term 2 Sports activity (such as Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis) the cost of buses for our carnivals etc.  Because none of these are going ahead, the Sports Levy will not be collected this year.  Those who have paid all or some of the levy will have it credited against their Tuition Fees.

Payment Options:
BPAY

Our Biller Code is 136119 and the Reference Number is the account number on your statement (BPAY is only available for fee payments.  If you pay any excursions etc via BPAY please email the school otherwise the payment will be deducted from your fees.

Direct Debit: 

Please contact the office for a Direct Debit Request Form.

Credit Card/Eftpos:

OLV accepts Mastercard or Visa only. An authorisation slip is provided at the bottom of your statement each term.  Payments can also be made over the telephone

In Person

Parents are welcome to pay directly to the office between 8.30am and 3.00pm.

The enrolment period for 2021 is now open. Parents who are seeking enrolment for their children at OLV in 2021 should ask for an Application for Enrolment from the office. Alternatively, a request for an enrolment pack can be found  on our school website at:

 or on the CSO website at

If you are aware of any families that are also considering enrolling next year, please pass on this message.

Due to the restrictions around visitors in the school due to Covid-19, our enrolment process will be a little different and the timeline a little later than normal.  We will be conducting interviews and a meet and greet early in the new term from August 1.  Once we have had a chance to meet, you will be given the opportunity to visit the Kindergarten room with our Pastoral Care Worker and/or Learning Support Teacher.  We will then be able to confirm the position.
