Fee Schedule

This fee is set by the Catholic Education Commission and is collected by the College to support the curriculum and pay all salaries and the levy charged to schools to administer Catholic Education in the Archdiocese.

Sibling discounts that apply to Tuition fees:

If you have more than one child in St Francis Xavier College or another Systemic ACT Secondary College, a discount is offered on the Tuition Fee. Sibling discounts applied are as follows:

Systemic ACT Colleges are St Mary MacKillop College, John Paul II College, St Clare’s College, Merici College and St Francis Xavier College.  Siblings in non-Systemic Colleges, Daramalan College, St Edmunds College and Marist College, DO NOT qualify for sibling discounts.

Systemic Primary schools have a separate sibling discount structure that is applied automatically to Primary School invoices. For more information, please contact your Primary School directly.

• Facilities Levy  – In order for the College to meet its present and future insurance and maintenance obligations an annual Facilities Levy payable by each family with a child enrolled in an ACT school will be added to the Fee Schedule. To reduce the impact on families the Facilities Levy will continue to be phased over a 3- year period, with the transition supported by Catholic Education. In 2025 the Facilities Levy was $300 per annum, in 2026 it will be $625 per annum, and it will graduate to $1000 per annum by 2027.
• College Levy  – The levy is charged to assist with student curriculum, technology, and administration services, including elective costs, College camps and retreats in Years 7, 10 and 12 and curriculum‐based excursions and performances that cost up to $25 per student per event.
