Catholic schools are charged with the responsibility of making themselves as accessible as possible to all in our communities who desire a Catholic education.
The College Advisory Committee has the responsibility for balancing the need to respect and include the poor with its responsibility to manage College resources effectively to achieve the mission of the College community. Consequently, the level of fees charged takes into account the needs of the College and the capacity of the community to pay.
Families who find the financial burden difficult are encouraged to consult with the Principal or Business Manager regarding the possibility of fee assistance or relief before deciding to preclude their children from Catholic Education on financial grounds. Telephone 5662 4255 for more information.

Timelines of Payments
The College’s fee structure and budget relies on the prompt payment of school fees. This minimises administration time as well as costs involved in following up outstanding fees.
All enquiries regarding payment of school fees should be directed to the Finance Officer or Business Manager at: fees@mmcrc.catholic.edu.au
Enrolment Deposit
An enrolment deposit of $150.00 is payable with the Application for Enrolment Form when submitted for a Year 7 student. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. Once enrolment is confirmed, the deposit is credited to the school fee account when fees are charged in February of the commencement year.
Bus Conveyance
The conveyance allowance is a contribution towards transport costs and is not intended to cover the full cost of transporting children to and from school.
The conveyance allowance may be available to students attending government or non-government schools and:
- travelling by public transport or by private car, motorbike, bicycle or bus, and
- whose nearest school is not serviced by a free school bus provided under the School Bus Program
To be eligible for the conveyance allowance a student must reside 4.8km or more from the school/campus they attend. This distance is measured as the shortest practicable route from the student’s residence to the school/campus using all-weather public roads drivable by car.
The Student Conveyance Allowance System (SCAS) assesses this eligibility criteria by:
- determining the shortest route between the student’s address and the school/campus attended (whereas other public mapping tools commonly measure the shortest travel time)
- producing a table showing distances to nearby like schools, for comparison, which assists schools to determine whether the student is attending their nearest school/campus.
The distance measured does not include private driveways.
