Fees and payments

This information provides an overview of College fees, payment arrangements and support options available to families.

Payments

School fees are paid via our payment partner Edstart, not directly to the College.

With Edstart Plus, families have access to flexible payment options, including:

• Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or annual payments
• The ability to choose a preferred payment day
• The option to spread fees over a full 12-month period instead of 10 months
• Flexibility to adjust payments at any time
• No fees or charges for using Edstart Plus for Chevalier College tuition fees
• To set up your Edstart account, please visit edstart.com.au/chevalier. Edstart will then pay your College fees on your behalf when they are due and activate your regular repayments as part of your selected plan.

Fee assistance

Payment plans

Weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment plans are available through Edstart.

As a Catholic school owned and conducted by the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, Chevalier College has structures in place to assist families experiencing genuine, evidenced financial hardship. The College applies strict confidentiality regarding requests and approvals of fee assistance.

The provision of fee assistance is at the discretion of the Principal and the Director of Enterprise Services and is based on evidence of financial hardship. For further information, please contact the Finance Manager on (02) 4861 1488. The College applies strict confidentiality regarding requests and approval of financial assistance.

Building Fund

The College Building Fund allows families to make a voluntary, tax-deductible contribution. The Building Fund has been part of Chevalier for almost all of its history and has traditionally been a vital part of our income. Keeping it voluntary qualifies any contribution by you as a tax-deductible donation, rather than having a mandatory levy for everyone that does not qualify as tax deductible.

At the time of the January fee statement, you will also be provided with information on suggested options for a tax-deductible donation per family. You can of course donate more or less than the suggested amount.  All we ask is that you consider contributing what you can based on your own circumstances, so we can continue to upgrade and maintain our facilities. Your support will provide benefits for your child now and other children into the future, just as we now enjoy the facilities built by the generosity of past families.
