School Fees
At the Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited and St James' Parish Primary School:-
"We welcome all students and their families who share or respect our Catholic faith, values and traditions. Catholic education is supported by State and Federal funding, with families contributing the balance of the cost of educating their children. At times, some families are unable to meet their commitment to the full cost of education. As a Catholic school system, we ensure fee relief mechanisms are available to support families in of time of need. We encourage these discussions on enrolment or as these needs emerge."
