A Catholic Education from Kindergarten to Year 12
Thank you for choosing or considering a Catholic education for
your child. This booklet will guide you through the process of
choosing a Catholic systemic secondary college, and answer
some frequently asked questions. It explains how to select
a college, how to help your child cope with the primary to
secondary transition and the criteria for secondary enrolment.
It also contains details of all the secondary systemic colleges in
the Archdiocese of Sydney, including their official ‘feeder’ schools.

Can my child go to a different Catholic
secondary college?
Yes, you can apply for enrolment at any Catholic secondary
college. The success of your application will depend on the
numbers of applicants falling into the priority categories listed
on the left.
How do I find out more about the Catholic
secondary colleges in my area?
Often secondary college principals will come and talk to senior
primary school students about their college.
You can also attend college open days, which provide insights
into what the college has to offer. You will meet the students,
teachers and current parents and take a tour of the facilities
and grounds.
Many of our secondary colleges have strong bonds with their
feeder primary schools, and offer opportunities for the primary
students to visit and become involved in a range of learning
and sporting activities.
When do I need to enrol my child in a
secondary college?
From this year SCS secondary colleges will enrol
prospective students two years before the intended
commencement date, i.e. Year 5 for enrolment into Year 7.
Traditionally, secondary colleges in the Archdiocese of
Sydney accept enrolments between March and the end
of May. This varies from college to college, so contact
the specific secondary college you are interested in for
more details.

What are the fees?
Tuition fees are charged at all systemic primary and secondary colleges. In 2015,
SCS moved to a differentiated school tuition fee model. This means that there
will be slight variations in tuition fees from school to school, depending on the
socio-economic rating of the area in which the school is located.
On average, the tuition fees for a years 7-8 student are around $1,600 per year,
for a years 9-10 student, around $1,700 per year and for a years 11-12 student around
$2,200 per year. As mentioned, there will be some minor variations between schools.
As well as tuition fees, there are some separate school-based charges
(sport, excursions, technology etc.) and a School Building Levy. This levy is used to
help pay for the loans taken out by the parish or SCS to cover building works, repairs
and maintenance of school buildings.
At HSC level, there may also be some charges for specific subjects (e.g. Woodwork
and Construction).
Parents who need support to meet the cost of educating their child in a systemic
Catholic school may be eligible for a bursary through the Catholic Education
Foundation. Information about the Catholic Education Foundation can be obtained
from your local Catholic school or from the SCS website. School fee relief may
also be available to some families. Contact your local Catholic school for more
information about the school fees charged by that school.
What does ‘systemic’ mean and how are systemic schools
different from other Catholic schools?
Systemic Catholic schools are administered by SCS. All systemic schools work closely
with their parish, use a low fee model, and have access to centrally-funded programs.
They receive some government funding.
Congregational Catholic schools are run independently by religious orders. They
charge their own fees, and also receive some government funding, but under a
different model. Both systemic and congregational schools in the Archdiocese
of Sydney are responsible to the Archbishop of Sydney. The information in this
booklet refers only to Catholic systemic schools. There is a list of the congregational
secondary schools on page 47.
