Other costs and charges
- Consolidated Charges: a Consolidated Charge is billed with each instalment to cover compulsory extras by year level (for example: student diary, class-set books and materials, films, year-level camps, prescribed excursions and incursions, certain technology resources excluding personally prescribed iPads/laptops for Years 7–12). The Consolidated Charge does not include uniforms, books and stationery on the year-level booklists, or personally prescribed devices. Portions of the Consolidated Charge may be non-refundable.
- Uniforms, books and stationery: uniform costs are additional and are not included in fees; year-level booklists are published annually and are ordered through the School's supplier (indicative cost range for booklist items is published as a guide). Students in Years 7–12 are required to obtain a laptop; an indicative laptop cost range is AUD 1,500 to AUD 3,000 and an indicative booklist cost range is AUD 500 to AUD 1,000. Optional third-party services (for example: private music tuition, after-school care, bus services) are billed separately and are generally rendered at the end of each term.

Refunds, absences and enrolment changes (key points)

Where a student will be absent for a full school year, a 50% Leave of Absence holding fee may be applied in lieu of full fees (application and approval required).
- Withdrawals: one full term's written notice is required to withdraw a student; if one full term's notice is not given, an amount equal to 25% of the annual Tuition Fee, State Payroll Tax Surcharge, Consolidated Charges and Boarding Fee (if applicable) is payable in lieu of notice. For withdrawal from boarding only (while remaining enrolled as a day student), two full terms' written notice is required or 50% of the annual Boarding Fee plus the applicable State Payroll Tax Surcharge is payable in lieu of notice. Outstanding fees become immediately due on withdrawal.
