PAYMENTS, PLANS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Christmas, School Holidays, School fees and Uniforms .... it is an expensive time of year for everyone. To support families, we will not be issuing Levy Invoices until after students start the school year (that's Feb 6 2025 for those who are interested). Once you receive your invoice, there are a variety of payment plans and options available.
How do I pay levies and charges?
Levies can be paid:
- At the school (by EFTPOS, cash or cheque)
- At Service Tasmania (by EFTPOS, cash or cheque)
- Through BPAY (using the Biller Code and Reference on your invoice)
- By mail, forward your cheque, money order or credit card details to the school, with the payment slip from your invoice attached (payable to the Department of Education)
- Using Centrepay, a service provided by Centrelink.
You can choose to pay your levies by instalment by contacting the school to set up a payment plan of regular instalments. Payment plans can continue through to the end of the school year.
If you wish to confidentially discuss a payment plan that suits you, please make an appointment to see our School Business Managers, Mrs Lisa Bean or Miss Janine Burt.

Student Assistance Scheme (STAS)
Have your financial circumstances changed recently? Please take the time to look into the Department of Education, Tasmania's Student Assistance Scheme. If you have any questions, or need confidential assistance completing the paperwork, please contact the School Administration office on 0363723900. Parents who have a current concession card as listed below can apply for dependent students for assistance under the STAS:
- Services Australia – Centrelink Health Care Card
- Service Australia – Centrelink Low Income Health Care Card
- Services Australia – Pensioner Concession Card or
- Department of Veteran Affairs – Pensioner Concession Card.
Note: Parents/guardians must have a concession card. STAS does not apply to a student’s concession card.
Please note that if you are already receiving student assistance you do not need to complete a form.
An on-line form has been developed to assist with processing applications for new applicants.
The online form can be completed here: https://stasonlinesubmission.education.tas.gov.au/
Once a validated form is completed the Department of Education will confirm the outcome of your application in writing, this process takes approximately 14 days.
We understand this online option may not be possible for all families, so if you require a hard copy form please contact our Administration office 0363723900, or stas@education.tas.gov.au or 1800 827 055.
