OLSH
Affordable and Accessible Education for Every Family
OLSH College offers an affordable fee structure for all, made up of a tuition fee and ICT levy. There are no additional costs for subjects, camps, retreats and excursions. Our income based fee structure includes 3 fee bands – Full Fees, Mid Band (for those families above Lower Income fees and less than full fees) and Lower Income fees. We do this to help cater for individual families different financial circumstances and also recognise times may also change whilst your daughter is with us and you need some additional fee support.
We are delighted to advise that our fees for 2026 are the same as 2025 for band 1, 2 and 3 families. These changes are made being mindful of families financial circumstances and to make a Catholic Education more accessible for families.
