Mount Carmel College prides itself on providing quality, innovative and accessible Catholic education to all families, regardless of income level. Our motto 'Caritas et Dignitas' (Love and Dignity) is at the heart of who we are as a Josephite School, and as such, our Fees Policy ensures the dignity and confidence of all students and their families.
To ensure continuity of our competitive, low fee structure we depend upon the reliable and prompt payment of fees from families, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspect of our fee structure and negotiate a payment plan suitable for families and the College.
QKR payment is required or available in a significant number of areas (eg; Canteen, OSHC, Sports Programs, VET Courses, Music/Drama, Parents & Friends & other activities and events). We encourage our community, if you have not already done so, to download the QKR application.
If you experience difficulties downloading onto your mobile phone, the other option is accessing QKR on your Laptop or PC. Copy & paste the following link onto your browser to either sign up or login: https://qkr-store.qkrschool.com/store/#/home
Please note Qkr cannot be used to pay for your school fees account.
All queries related to fees and payments can be directed to the Finance Office.

The College does not accept liability for damage or loss of any personal possessions of students while on College grounds. Insurance cover for a student’s personal possessions is the responsibility of parents/caregivers.
As part of our duty of care to all students and if it is deemed necessary, an ambulance will be organised. It is important that parents/caregivers are aware that Mount Carmel College ambulance cover is only applicable to accidents - not pre-existing medical conditions. It is the responsibility of parents/caregivers to consider personal ambulance cover for their child should the need arise.
