Catholic School Fee Discount for 2020
Dear Parents/Carers
In 2020 Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Cairns will provide a discount on tuition fees for holders of means-tested Health Care and Pensioner Concession Cards.
The discount applies to tuition fees only and not to school levies and charges.
This year a discount of 70% on tuition fees will apply to holders of eligible cards.
The cards must be current and list as dependents, the students for whom the discount is sought.
Parents and carers should now present their eligible card to the school office for verification. The office secretary will make a copy and provide a Health Care Card Tuition Fee Discount Scheme Form for the Parent/Carer to complete. The fee discount will then be applied to tuition fees on future term invoices for the 2020 year.
For families with children at other Cairns Catholic Schools; this process will be repeated for each school. The discount arrangement will expire on the expiry date of the card or at the end of the school year.
Parents/Carers receiving the discount have a duty to inform the school of any renewal or change in eligibility cards.
Families seeking a discount on tuition fees must visit the school office to verify and copy their Heath Care/Pension Concession Card and complete the Health Care Card Tuition Fee Discount Scheme Form no later than this Thursday, 31st January in order for the discount to be applied to Term 1 school fees.
For those who applied in 2019 a form was completed in the office and a copy of HCC card was taken for their 2020 application. For those with an expiry card (end of 2019) please come into the school office to complete a new form and copy of new HCC card is required by tomorrow. Thank you to those who have completed their forms for 2020.
IMPORTANT: Once the Fees are generated, unfortunately we are unable to process any claims for the respective term. Full fees for that term will be charged. (no credit can be done for that term).
Please make sure you come into the school office and complete the form with your HCC card by tomorrow.
If you have any questions, please feel free to phone or call into the school office.
