With the end of the 2022 school year fast approaching families are reminded of the following;

Please ensure all school fees are paid in full before the end of the 2022 school year.  If you are having genuine financial stress please make contact with the Principal as a matter of urgency to discuss your school fee situation.

Families that currently pay school fees by instalment do not need to complete another 'Request to Pay by Instalment' form as your current form carries over from year to year unless you wish to amend the frequency of your payments.  eg Weekly to fortnightly.  If your child is commencing Year 7 at one of our Diocesan Catholic Colleges your secondary school fees frequency for payment will be the same as the primary school unless you complete the 'Request to pay by Instalment' form to alter this.

Families that do not currently pay school fees by instalment or are new to the school and would like to take up to option to pay their school fees by instalment please ensure that you complete a ' Request to pay by Instalment' form and either return this to the school office or submit it directly to instalments@dow.catholic.edu.au before the conclusion of the 2022 school year.  

2023 school travel applications are now open

Applications for student travel in 2023 opened from Monday, 10 October 2022.

Students who need a School Opal card or travel pass for 2023 can apply now. A new application will need to be submitted if they are applying for the first time, or if they are requesting an additional travel entitlement as a result of a new shared parental responsibility situation (e.g. joint custody).

Students who change address, school, campus location, have repeated a year or received an expiry notification from Transport for NSW for their school travel entitlement should renew or update their details before the end of term 4.
This will ensure that schools can endorse applications, and entitlements remain valid for the start of the 2023 school year. School Opal card holders will have the changes applied to their existing card.

If a student's distance eligibility has changed based on their grade (i.e. grade two to grade three), the system will automatically update their entitlement if they meet the new criteria. If they do not meet the new eligibility criteria, an expiry notification via email will be sent.
