Mount Carmel College aims to keep fees as inclusive as possible. We try to minimise additional payments that may be required throughout the year. Accordingly, tuition fees cover items such as the purchase and replacement of class textbooks which are loaned to students, classroom materials and consumables used in subjects such as Art, Technology, Health and Physical Education, camps (excluding interstate or overseas trips) and excursions, school competition entry fees, sports carnivals and training for school sports teams, co-curricular activities provided by the College, College Feast Days, liturgies and thanksgiving masses and Information and communication technology resources.
Some Elective subjects for Years 9 and 10 carry additional charges, therefore fees for some students in Years 9 and 10 will vary. These charges are added as an additional component of the February invoice.
In accordance with our Fees and Charges Guidelines and Fees and Charges Procedures, fees at each year level do not include interstate or overseas trips with the cost of these trips only determined closer to the time.
Booklists outline the required texts and stationery for full participation in learning programs. Students in Kindergarten, Prep and Year 1 will be provided with a pack of books and stationery from their class teacher. The costs associated with texts and stationery supplied by the College will be invoiced to individual accounts.
Uniform costs vary depending on the year level. Full details on uniform costs can be found on the Uniform page.
A family discount is available on tuition fees when multiple children in the family attend Tasmanian Catholic schools or Colleges, in accordance with the Catholic Education Commission Tasmania School Fees Assistance Policy. The discount rates are:

Parents are requested to provide written notice of withdrawal of a student to the Principal. The required period of notice is at least ten school weeks (one term) prior to the withdrawal of the student.
Where notice is not provided, full tuition fees may need to be paid to the school for the number of school weeks where notice was not provided. This includes withdrawal prior to the start of the school year.
The notice period may be reduced or waived in special circumstances, with the final decision regarding the reduction or waiving of this fee at the discretion of the Principal.
Fee assistance is available for families who anticipate or are experiencing financial difficulty. Alternative payment arrangements may be considered or negotiated. Please contact the Finance Officer at the College to discuss further.
