Compulsory levies and additional recurring charges
- A compulsory levy is charged to cover year-group curriculum activities, excursions, publications, consumables, student device provision (including warranty, insurance and software) and year-group camps; this levy is charged over four terms and is added to termly billing. The levy is not partly refundable if a student withdraws during the academic year.
- For Full Fee Paying Overseas Students an Annual Supplementation Fee is levied at the beginning of Term 1: Preparation–Year 6 AUD 3,200 per annum; Years 7–12 AUD 4,200 per annum.

- Hampshire House requires fortnightly payment of fees by direct debit and an Enrolment Deposit equivalent to two weeks' fees on acceptance. No refund is provided if a child does not attend for any reason for positions offered on a 48-week basis. An annual laundry fee of AUD 54 and a hat fee of AUD 21 are also charged.

One-off and variable additional costs
- Extra‑curricular activity costs (for participating students) are charged in addition to tuition and are payable at the time of registration for the activity.
- Uniforms and some educational supplies are subject to Goods & Services Tax (GST); GST will be charged where applicable. No fixed uniform price is listed here, so uniform purchases are additional to tuition and levies.
- Voluntary Building Fund donations are invited; an opportunity to make an income-tax-deductible donation of AUD 300 is offered with each term's statement of account.

Billing schedule, instalments and payment terms
- Fee due dates for 2026 (Prep–Year 11): Term 1 — 30 January 2026; Term 2 — 21 April 2026; Term 3 — 21 July 2026; Term 4 — 13 October 2026. Year 12 staged due dates align with Stage 1 — 30 January 2026; Stage 2 — 21 April 2026; Stage 3 — 21 July 2026.
- Instalment options: Prep–Year 11 — 10 instalments (drawn January to October); Year 12 — 7 instalments (drawn January to July). Fees and non‑tuition charges are payable in advance and instalments will be drawn according to the direct debit authority.
- Methods of payment accepted: online via the school's Sundial portal; credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex — a merchant fee of 1.1% applies); BPAY (biller code and customer number shown on fee statements); and Direct Debit (forms available and to be submitted to schoolfees@kambala.nsw.edu.au).
- A late payment administration fee of AUD 200 applies to overdue accounts; further administration charges and external debt-collection costs may also be billed to the account if fees remain unpaid. Students with overdue fees may be ineligible to return to school or participate in optional activities until accounts are settled.

Refunds, notice and withdrawal terms
- A full term's written notice to the Principal (or one term's fees in lieu) is required to withdraw a student or to change a boarder to a day student; insufficient notice incurs a charge of one term's tuition and boarding fees (as applicable). This also applies to new students who accept a place and withdraw before commencing.
- The compulsory levy is not partly refundable if a student withdraws during an academic year. Boarding fees remain payable for the whole year unless a student was accepted for a shorter period. Hampshire House requires eight weeks' written notice of withdrawal or a fee in lieu equivalent to eight weeks' fees.
- For FFPOS the AUD 10,000 international student deposit is refundable at the completion of the student's schooling; this deposit is not accepted by credit card.

Discounts, scholarships and financial assistance
- A sibling discount of 10% applies to tuition fees for the second and subsequent daughters concurrently attending Kambala (discount rules and pro‑rata adjustments apply where other discounts or fee reductions are in place).
- Boarder sibling discounts: second boarding daughter concurrently boarding receives 25% discount; third and subsequent concurrently boarding daughters receive 50% discount (subject to pro‑rata adjustments where other discounts apply).
- Scholarships (competitive) and bursaries (means tested) are available and may remit tuition and/or boarding fees and, in some cases, levies; scholarships and bursaries are applied according to the School's published processes.

Kambala is a girls' day and boarding school in Sydney's Rose Bay offering Years 7–12 that blend the IB Diploma Programme with the NSW HSC. The IB pathway began in 2010 and sits alongside NSW HSC subjects, giving students a choice of university-style study or NSW HSC. In the early years, students follow a broad core—English, History, Mathematics, Science, Music, PDHPE, Religious Education, Technology and Visual Arts—with two languages (French, Latin or Mandarin). Year 8 adds Geography and the Altius program to develop higher-order thinking; Years 9–10 widen elective options. In senior years, students may pursue either pathway or both. The campus includes Hampshire House (Early Learning), sport facilities such as an indoor pool, playing fields and a gym, and spaces for drama and music, with performance opportunities at Sydney Opera House. Kambala runs the Duke of Edinburgh Award and a Global Citizenship Diploma to foster leadership and global awareness.
