School Fees
San Damiano College is committed to providing a high‑quality Catholic education that remains accessible and affordable for families.
School fees support the delivery of educational programs and essential services, including curriculum resources, technology, student activities, retreats and pastoral care. Fees are set in accordance with Brisbane Catholic Education guidelines and are charged on a per‑student and per‑family basis, with sibling discounts applied where eligible.
Fee statements are issued each term, and families are encouraged to establish a regular payment plan to assist with budgeting across the school year.
San Damiano College acknowledges that families may experience financial difficulty from time to time. Confidential support and fee concessions may be available for families experiencing genuine hardship, in line with Brisbane Catholic Education policies.
Financial assistance is available across all Brisbane Catholic Education schools, including San Damiano College. Support options may include fee remissions, sibling discounts and flexible payment arrangements.
No child will be refused enrolment due to a family’s genuine inability to pay school fees.

All College property, including library books, laptops, and associated accessories, must be returned prior to the student’s departure.
At the Principal’s discretion, an adjustment to the Statement of Fees and Levies may be applied, based on the number of weeks the student attended the College during the term. Any outstanding fees will remain payable in accordance with normal payment terms. Where applicable, fees in credit will be refunded.
