St Paul's strives to keep school fees competitively priced. Built into the fee structure is a generous sibling discount. Families who have students enrolled at St Paul's Lutheran Primary and Grace College will receive a discount of $250 for the eldest child on their St Paul's Lutheran Primary Fees, and a further $750 discount on their Grace College fees. A form will be provided on enrolment or is available from the school office. Payment plans and direct debit arrangements can be set up and can be discussed with the Business Office.
