Fees & Assistance
Catholic Education – Diocese of Rockhampton (CEDR) is an authentic Catholic system of 39 Schools and 10 Kindergartens, that provide a comprehensive curriculum, committed and dedicated staff, and contemporary resources and facilities to meet the needs of our students. To support the provision of outstanding educational services to the community, school and kindergarten fees are set at an appropriate level.
Our Catholic Schools
School Funding
Federal and State Government Grants and School fees fund the operations of our schools. The Federal Government's means-tested assessment of the Capacity to Contribute of the school community determines the amount of Grant funding provided. School fees align with these Government funding parameters.
Our Simple and Transparent Approach to School Fees
A simple and transparent fee structure enables families to understand the cost of their child’s education. Rather than a tuition fee plus numerous levies and add-on charges, CEDR schools present school fees as an All-Inclusive Education fee that covers the curriculum offering of the school. The only other charge is a Building Levy, which funds the capital costs of providing contemporary and educationally engaging spaces for our students and staff. The school may offer some activities that fall outside of the curriculum offerings of the school. Should students choose to participate in these, Specific Purpose charges will apply. The below graphic illustrates the CEDR school fee structure. For further information, please click on any of the boxes below.

Early Learning and Care
Our Catholic Kindergartens
The Queensland Government introduced “Free Kindy” in 2024, providing funding to deliver Kindergarten to all eligible kindergarten-aged children in Queensland. Under the model, Government provides a subsidy per child equal to the amount Government has determined as the reasonable out of pocket cost per child.
To support the capital costs of providing contemporary and educationally engaging spaces for our children, our Kindergartens charge a voluntary building levy to families.
Outside School Hours Care (OSHC)
CEDR operates OSHC services at several CEDR Primary Schools and Kindergartens. Fees are charged on a per session basis, including before school hours care, after school hours care and vacation care.
