Billing schedule, payment terms and late charges

- The school year is comprised of three terms. Years 11 and 13 have their annual tuition divided into two equal instalments rather than three. Payment by monthly instalments may be arranged at the discretion of the Head Teacher in consultation with the Fees Administration Committee.
- If fees from the previous term remain unpaid at the end of the second week of term, parents will receive a reminder and students may be excluded from school unless arrangements have been made with the Head Teacher. A surcharge of 1.25% per month is levied on all outstanding fees. A banking slip or telegraphic transfer advice should be presented to verify payment to avoid surcharges.

Withdrawal and refund conditions

- One full term's written notice to the Head Teacher (acknowledged in writing) is required before withdrawing a student. If written notice is not given, a term's fees in lieu of notice must be paid. Notice is not required for students leaving on completion of Year 11 or Year 13.
- The refundable deposit will be returned when a child leaves the school provided all fees are paid, school resources have been returned and no damage has been done to school property or resources. No refund of fees or refundable deposits will be given if a student is suspended or excluded, or if absent from school due to illness or holiday.
