Peace Lutheran Primary School continually strives to maintain an excellent standard in the provision of staff, facilities and programs to meet parent expectations. The school receives Commonwealth and State Government recurrent grants, but these are insufficient to cover the full cost of educating a child. Therefore, fees are payable by parents for their child/ren to attend Peace Lutheran Primary School.
Peace Lutheran Primary School fees are all-inclusive, meaning that everything is covered – swimming, camp, arts council performances, student insurance and most excursions. Textbooks and app costs are extras and are organised by the school. The costs will be added to term 1’s fees notice. Currently textbook charges are $70 per student. It is an expectation that children attend camps, as these activities have strong links to curriculum.
The school fees for Peace Lutheran Primary School for 2024 are:

Fees are issued on a term basis, meaning that at the end of every term the school fees account will be sent home for the following term. Fees are due by the end of the second week of each term, but individual payment plans can be organised if families need additional time to pay. All alternative payment options can be discussed with the Business Manager and must be confirmed in writing.

A 4% discount applies when charges for the term are paid on or before the first day of the new term for terms 2, 3 and 4; for term 1 the 4% discount applies when terms fees are paid by the first Friday of the term.
