Please note, you will only receive one offer from a Catholic School. The Geelong Catholic Colleges work to review and process applications to ensure families seeking Catholic education receive their preference in accordance with the College's enrolment criteria. If your first preference school cannot offer you a place, you may receive an offer from your second preference. Please ensure your school preferences are listed in preferential order, and that you have lodged an application at each school.

Such positions are filled from our waiting list. Parents looking to enrol students need to complete an enrolment for application and supply all supporting documentation (see above).

All Year 7 students at our College in 2024 will purchase a MacBook laptop at the cost of $1900, covering them from Year 7 to Year 12.
Families will also pay an annual incident protection levy of $100, increasing to $300 from Years 10-12. This eliminates the need for new laptop purchases in Year 10.
A separate invoice for payment in full will be emailed in early January.
Senior School Courses
These Senior School courses attract an additional levy due to their practical nature:
These fees are payable by the end of Term One for students to remain enrolled.
Other Examples:
and any other extra curricular activities that may arise.
Discounts are given when two or more students from the same family are attending Saint Ignatius College.
Two students 10%
Three or more students 20%
A discount of $100 per family is also given to those families with children attending a Catholic Primary School.
At least one term’s notice must be given in writing to the Registrar by the parent/guardian if the student is to be withdrawn. In this instance, one full term’s fees will be retained and the balance of fees refunded (if fees are paid in advance).
The fund assists with financing the construction or maintenance of the College buildings. It is a voluntary donation which can be claimed as a tax deduction. The amount of $300 per family per year is the usual contribution that families give to assist us in keeping our facilities in the excellent condition that they are.
Goods and Services Tax
School fees and levies are in general exempt from GST.
Fee Payments
A School Fee and Building Fund Payment Plan form will be sent out to each family before the end of the school year offering a variety of fee payment options.
Please contact the Finance Officer should you wish to discuss any of these.
We strive to provide a place for students who can demonstrate commitment to the College’s mission and vision and passionately pursue excellence.
We offer a limited number of bursaries for prospective students entering Years 7, 9 and 11 who would otherwise be unable to attend the College.
This bursary is by way of a contribution to the payment of school fees. This support is dependent on the bursary application and available funds.
Please note that a bursary applies to fees and not to levies.
Bursaries may be available for up to 6 years. As financial circumstances may change, there is a requirement for the bursary to be reviewed during the second year of assistance.
