Enrolment
At St Francis Xavier maintaining a Catholic ethos of the school is our number one priority when accepting enrolments. It is recognised that families from other faith traditions bring their own richness and faith experiences which in turn enrich our Catholic community.
In accordance with Archdiocesan policy no child will be denied Catholic schooling because of an inability of parents/carers to pay fees or levies.

School Fees
The level of School Fees is set annually by the Catholic Education Office and the School Community Council. We try to keep the level of fees to a minimum. Accounts are forwarded to families within the first three weeks of each term for payment within thirty days. Families experiencing financial difficulty are encouraged to speak confidentially with the Principal, who may be able to make arrangement for a remission of some part of the fees. Fees are paid per family, per term.
The payment of School Fees is of vital importance in the operation of the school, and we ask that all families make every effort to pay school fees.
