The start of your child's journey with St Joseph's School Tranmere.
Investing in your child’s education is one of the most important decisions for families to make and, at St Joseph’s, we would like to help all parents & carers who wish to provide an affordable Catholic education for their child. To assist this, our School Fees remain unchanged for the 2024 school year.
Annual School Fees 2024
| Full fee per student | $3,100 |
| Lower income fee per student | $1,860 |
What is Included:
The tuition fee above covers all tuition, levies and charges for each child’s education and also includes book lists and stationery.
(School camps, aquatics/swimming and sports carnivals, Year 6 Senior Jacket/Sport Tops/Year Books are excluded and charged separately.)
Lower Income Fee:
To be eligible for the lower income fee, you need to qualify as a low income family. This is determined by your family’s gross income and is a $ value set by the State Government.
In 2024, your family’s gross income for the 2022-23 financial year needed to be below $66,412 for a family with one school-age child. (The limit will vary depending on how many dependent children you have and is updated each year by DECD)
Proof of income is required and applicants will need to apply via the State Government’s School Card scheme.
Our Business Manager, Janet Price, can help you if you have any questions about applying for the lower income fee.
Need help with School Fees?
If you are concerned about your ability to pay schools fees, we strongly encourage you to have a discussion with us. We believe a family’s financial circumstances should not be a barrier to a student accessing a Catholic education.

School Card supports families who are low income earners. Those families who qualify for School Card need to apply each year to the Department of Education & Child Development (DECD). Forms are available from the school office or can be downloaded from the DECD website.
Every family who qualifies for School Card will automatically be charged the low income school fee.

Payment Plans
At the start of each school year, each family receives a personalised payment plan which provides suggested amounts for annual, twice yearly, monthly or fortnightly payments. We have found our families appreciate this hassle free way to organise their payments. Our Business Manager is always happy to discuss alternative payment arrangements which may better suit your family finances.
