2023 SCHOOL FEE ACCOUNTS – PAYMENT BY INSTALMENT

School Fees are invoiced as an annual account, due for payment in full 30 days after
invoicing. However, many families elect to pay their school fees by regular instalments. This option is available for new and existing families for the 2023 school year.


If you wish to take up this option, please complete a Request to Pay by Instalment Form which is available on the school’s website or from the school’s administration office.


On completion of the request, either email it to instalments@dow.catholic.edu.au or submit at the school office. Following receipt of the request, instalments will be generated on your school fee account during the process of invoicing 2023 school fees. Your school fee statements are emailed to you, and you will be provided with a list of scheduled payments with the due dates and amounts.


If you are an EXISTING FAMILY IN OUR SCHOOL CURRENTLY PAYING VIA INSTALMENTS there is no need to complete another Request to Pay by Instalment as your request carries over from year to year unless you wish to amend the frequency of your payments eg Weekly to Fortnightly.

IMPORTANT: Please note that if you currently have a child or children at another school in the Diocese and you are paying by instalments at this location, you will not need to complete another Request to Pay by Instalment. The instalment request carries over from school to school with the same frequency of payment eg Weekly, fortnightly, etc.

FAMILIES LEAVING ST PIUS X IN 2022
All families are requested to have your school fee account up to date by 9th December 2022. If you have any questions, please contact the school as soon as possible.

Please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Lauren McDonald (Senior School Support Officer), in the School Office if you have any questions in relation to your school fee accounts.

Collaborative Leadership Improving Learning - Professional Development 

Over the next few weeks teachers from Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 will be released from class to participate in a professional development opportunity hosted by Mrs Christine Nunes (Assistant Principal) and Ms Louise Sartor (Instructional Coach) in regards to the new K-2 English Syllabus and more specifically the implementation of decodable texts within the classroom space to support learning. This opportunity is timely and promises to be a worthwhile experience for our teachers to ensure the 2023 rollout of the new syllabi is comprehensive and that teachers are equipped with the new skills they need to maintain efficacy within the classroom.
