Individual tuition and miscellaneous assessments are generated for each student through the student portal; parents receive an itemised assessment there showing the exact per‑term and per‑year amounts applicable to their child. Because tuition assessments are generated in the portal rather than posted as a single public matrix, specific numeric tuition amounts by year group and per term are not available in the school's public materials.
