Application Fee
All applications for enrolment for new students must be accompanied by a $55 (GST inclusive) fee that is non-refundable. This fee covers the cost of processing the application.
Enrolment Fee
An enrolment fee of $200 (GST free) is payable on acceptance of a student to the College. This fee is credited to the family account when the student commences. This fee is non-refundable if a student does not commence at the College.
New Family Enrolment Fee
An enrolment fee of $100 (GST free) applies when the student is the first child of the family to be enrolled at the College. This fee will be included on the first statement emailed to a new family.
Fee Collection
The collection of school fees will be actively pursued by the College. This may involve the appointment of an external body to collect fees, where all reasonable attempts by the College have failed. Parents are always encouraged to approach the College if they are in financial difficulty.
Any actions taken to recover fees which are owed to the College would be governed by guidelines specified by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC).
