- Miscellaneous optional or occasional charges: excursions, off‑campus programmes, some co‑curricular elective fees, medical checks, and other incidental items are billed as applicable during the year.

Refund and deposit handling

- The security deposit is refundable under the school's stated deposit policy; the admission fee portion is normally non‑refundable. Specific conditions for refund of deposits and any proportionate refunds for term/boarding fees are set out in the school's fee and terms & conditions communications.

Fee payment options

- Payment channels used by the school include the school's parent portal and payment interface (Nucleus portal/app) for electronic payments and the traditional bank payment routes referenced in admission communications.
- At admission parents may be asked to pay by bank deposit/cheque (the school has historically used bank deposit slips and PDCs for admission payments); the school also communicates any online payment gateways or card acceptance options via the parent payment portal.
