Application / Registration Fees
- A Registration (application) fee of AUD 200 is payable for local students. This fee is waived for Old Scotch Collegians. Payment methods accepted for the registration fee include credit card, cash or cheque.

Confirmation / Endowment Fee (on acceptance of offer)
- A Confirmation Fee is payable to secure and finalise an offered place. The Confirmation Fee includes life membership of the Old Scotch Collegians programme and a non‑refundable Endowment Fee. The Confirmation Fee is non‑refundable and non‑transferable. Historically the Confirmation/Endowment element has been calculated as a proportion of the Senior School annual tuition (documentation shows an example as one quarter of the annual Senior School tuition plus the Old Scotch Collegians fee).

Tuition fees — billing rhythm and instalments (how fees are charged and when they are due)
- Tuition is charged on an annual basis and invoiced in four quarterly instalments. Billing of quarterly instalments occurs in October, January, April and July each year. Annual fees are required to be paid one full quarter in advance (for example, a student starting in the Summer term will receive the first quarterly instalment billed in the preceding October). Term / instalment invoices are the operational unit used for payment scheduling.

Tuition fees — per term and per year group (how to read the invoices and instalments)
- Tuition for each year group is set as an annual amount and divided into the four quarterly instalments above. Invoices list the quarterly instalment amount for the student's year group and the calendar months when each instalment is due (October, January, April, July). For families who accept a place, the Confirmation Fee and the annual fee schedule determine the per‑term invoiced figure for that student's year group. (The College publishes a separate detailed Schedule of Fees for local students and for international students that shows the exact annual and per‑term amounts by year group.)

Boarding fees and boarding‑related charges (where applicable)
- Boarding is offered for students in Years 7–12. Boarding charges are additional to day‑student tuition and include specific boarding house charges and incidental boarding costs. Boarders are charged an annual Weekend Recreation fee of AUD 285 added to their account to cover organised weekend activities. Boarding families should expect additional charges for excursions, camps and some weekend recreation activities where applicable.

Other regular and variable charges (examples parents should expect to see on accounts)
- Resource levies: Junior School students are charged a resource levy (for stationery and basic consumables) that is billed in the Summer Term.
- Co‑curricular and music charges: Instrumental music participation fees are charged to school accounts in instalments; instrument hire is charged as an annual hire fee. Historical College guidance lists individual lesson participation fees and an instrument‑hire fee (for example, instrument hire has been listed at approximately AUD 300 per annum in College music materials). These participation and hire charges are billed separately to tuition.
- Excursions, camps, sport tours and some co‑curricular activities are charged as additional items on school accounts when they occur. Many of these are billed termly or after the activity is confirmed.
- Uniform, laptop/iPad accessories and some personal items are additional out‑of‑pocket costs; uniform purchases are handled via the College's uniform shop and may appear as separate charges or be purchased directly by families.

Refunds and withdrawal charges
- The Confirmation Fee is non‑refundable and non‑transferable. Other refund and withdrawal terms are governed by the College's enrolment and business terms and conditions; families should note that fee liability and any refund entitlement are determined by those enrolment conditions and the timing of any formal notice of withdrawal. (Confirmation Fee policy and the non‑refundable nature of the Endowment element are stated in the College admissions documentation.)

Billing schedule and payment terms (practical details)
- Invoicing schedule: quarterly invoices issued in October, January, April and July. Annual fees are charged via those quarterly instalments and are required one quarter in advance.
- Instalment options: the College operates an instalment schedule and a recurring direct‑debit facility to spread payments across the invoicing cycle; instalment calculation schedules are provided to families for direct‑debit setup.

Accepted payment methods and practical payment options
- Accepted methods for application and account payments include credit card (for application/registration), cash and cheque for certain admissions payments; the College provides secure online payments through Westpac for school account transactions. A recurring direct‑debit (direct debit) option is available for regular instalment payments. Families may also receive invoicing details and the College's fee instalment calculation schedule that shows how recurring drawings are applied across the annual quarters.

Other notes on likely additional costs parents will see on accounts
- Individual tuition (instrumental music), ensemble participation fees and instrument hire.
- Camps and Outdoor Education expedition charges (Bibbulmun Track activities and other outdoor learning excursions are charged when run).
- Voluntary or compulsory levies for certain activities, resource levies (stationery), school photographs, ID cards and extra curricular tours or travel.
- Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) contributions for full‑fee international students (Australian Government requirement for international students).
