School Fees
- Please ensure all school fees are paid in full before the end of the 2023 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 or alternatively email Mr Reardon via info@spc.dow.catholic.edu.au
- 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 the 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.

School Fees Credits
If you have a fee credit, have no children attending St Paul’s in 2024 and are not sending your child to a Wollongong Diocesan high school, please email the school office via info@spcdow.catholic.
For families that have a fee credit and their child is attending a Wollongong Diocesan High School in 2024 the fee credit will be forwarded with your child to their new high school.
Medication Procedure
As the 2023 school year draws to a close the school would like to remind parents of the current medication procedure.
All long term medication must be provided to the school in a WEBSTER PACK containing one month's supply per pack, clearly labelled with your child’s prescription, name, quantity and time medication is to be taken. The school advises that you consult with your GP or pharmacist to discuss the different styles of packs that will work best with your child’s medication.
Should your child require short term medication, no longer than one to two weeks, the webster pack is not required. Parents are to provide the medication in the bottle or packet that it is provided by the pharmacist with the prescription clearly labelled. All liquid medication requires a syringe or medicine cup and dosage pre-drawn to be provided for dispensing the medicine.
An ‘Authority to Dispense Medication’ form must be provided to the school for all prescribed and over the counter medications before any medication can be dispensed to your child. Parents can access this form via the school website and the school office.
Students Not Returning in 2024
Students from Kindergarten to Year 5 (excluding Year 6 students) who will not be returning to St Paul’s in 2024 are requested to complete the attached form and return to the school office as soon as possible.
