School Fees
Tuition fees are charged for all Sydney Catholic Schools’ primary schools and secondary colleges, and vary according to the area in which the school is located.
In addition to tuition fees there are:
- school-based charges set by each school to cover materials for specific subjects, teaching resources, excursions, specialist sports, and school-based costs. This includes fees that contribute to the cost of instrument hire and music tutors within the Amadeus Music Education Program.
- a building levy that contributes to building and maintenance, charged to the eldest sibling in the family attending a Sydney Catholic systemic school.
Sibling discounts apply to each additional child enrolled at the school.
Fee Assistance
We endeavour to offer an affordable Catholic education of the highest quality and there is a deeply held philosophical commitment at all levels (our archdiocese, system, parish and school) that no Catholic family should be denied a Catholic education due to a genuine incapacity to pay all, or part of, their children’s school fees.
Catholic parents who need support to meet the cost of educating their child may be eligible for a bursary from the Catholic Education Foundation. Support is provided via three bursary categories: Refugee, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and Financial Hardship.
Experience educational excellence with Sydney Catholic Schools, a high-quality, affordable and Catholic faith based education.
At Our Lady of Mercy Catholic College Burraneer, we believe in providing every child with the opportunity to access a quality Catholic education. We understand that circumstances vary for each family, and we are committed to supporting those in need.
If you’re considering enrolling your child in our school and require financial assistance, we encourage you to reach out to our school office. Our Principal is available for a confidential discussion to explore the available support options tailored to your situation. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re here to help.
