If you have any questions concerning the payment of school fees please contact Penola Catholic College by phone on 4728 8100 weekdays during school hours.

We understand the financial demands placed on household budgets and we are committed to keeping fees as low as possible.

No child who meets the enrolment criteria will be refused enrolment or disadvantaged because of a family’s financial circumstance.

Here’s how we can help

Flexible Payment Options

Families enrolled in CSPD schools are offered flexible payment options at the start of each year. These options provide opportunities to select a payment plan that best suits you. Payments can be made by direct debit or BPay on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis at no additional charge.

Flexible Payment Plans

Online Payment Portal

There is also an online payment portal. This may help take the stress of school fees out of your household budget as you can make a one-off payment up front with Visa or Mastercard by the due date. Our aim is to make it as simple as possible for families to access affordable quality Catholic education.
