A reduction of fees is granted when a family has three or more children attending the College.  Where there are three children, the third child will receive a 60% reduction, where there are four or more children, the third will receive a 60% reduction and there is no charge for subsequent children. Consideration will also be given to families with more than two children enrolled at O’Connor Catholic College and the Catholic feeder schools to O’Connor.

The facilities at O’Connor are maintained through the contribution of families to the Building Levy.
