Overdue Accounts
All accounts are actively monitored and pursued by the College. School fees are a primary source of income for the College, without which St Patrick’s would not be able to meet its own financial commitments, aimed at the provision of quality education for all its students. Non-payment of fees will result in a reminder letter issues and/or interview.
Parents/Caregivers of all enrolled students must finalise their account by the end of each school year and be aware that continuing enrolment is contingent upon a proven ability to pay school fees.
Parents/Caregivers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Parents/Caregivers who are experiencing any period of financial difficulty resulting in an inability to pay their fees when due, must contact the Business Manager or Principal, either in person or in writing, explaining their situation and suggesting a payment plan. It is always the College’s intention to ensure that the needs of individual families are met and undue financial burdens are not exacerbated. The College will conduct fee payment discussion confidentially and with compassion, to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes for both the College and the family. In such instances, the College reserves the right to request financial documentation and to reassess the family’s ongoing financial situation during the term of the arrangement.
Non-Compliance With Fee Policy
If no attempt is made to comply with the above procedure and there is an inadequate response to contact from the College, the College reserves the right to terminate the enrolment. Whilst the College would view such action as regrettable it also must uphold its responsibilities to the entire College community. This may also apply to families who have entered a payment arrangement but have not met their commitments under that agreement. Any such action would be undertaken to ensure fairness to all of the College community.
St Patrick's College will refer accounts that have significant debt to a debt collection agency. The family will be advised in writing that this action is pending, thus giving further opportunity to clear all debts before this occurs. All unpaid accounts will be pursued, even after a student has finished at the College. The College will pass on all charges incurred in recovery of a debt.
Withdrawal of a Student
If any student is withdrawn at any time, the College formal sign out process must be completed, details of which are available from the Enrolments Office. Students who leave the school during the school year are required to give written notice of ten (10) teaching weeks. The notice period commences from the date the College receives the notice in writing. An in-lieu of notice fee will be charged representing school fees for each week short of the 10 weeks’ notice. i.e. if a student gives 6 weeks notice then they will be charged an additional 4 weeks in school fees. This policy also applies where a student fails to return to the College following the Christmas break and where no notice of at least 10 teaching weeks has been given. This amount is a genuine estimate by the College of the loss that it would suffer as a consequence of insufficient notice of termination of the Student’s enrolment.
In addition, where a student is enrolled in a TVET course, the full course fee will be payable if the student leaves the College before the course is complete.
