- Not all requested line-by-line items were published in a per-grade, per-term fee table. The school's public materials provide annual fee bands by residency category and student type rather than a detailed per‑grade, per‑term schedule and do not publish a full term-by-term instalment schedule in the materials located. The enrolment contract and the school's admissions/tuition office contain the definitive billing schedule, instalment dates, administration fees for specific payment plans and any grade-specific tuition amounts within the published ranges.
