Billing schedule and payment terms
- Academic year tuition is invoiced in three instalments (termly). Term 1 covers Sep–Dec (4 months); Term 2 covers Jan–Mar (3 months); Term 3 covers Apr–Jun (3 months). Term due dates are: Term 1 — 1 August; Term 2 — 1 December; Term 3 — 1 March. Parents may request a full‑year invoice with a single due date of 1 August.
- Registration fee due timing: registration payment is required within seven days upon offer acceptance. Re‑registration fee due date is set in the fee policy calendar (example due dates shown for the 2025/2026 cycle). Full‑year invoice option has a due date of 1 August for that cycle.
- Late payment / non‑payment consequences: the school issues three consecutive warning notices (each at least one week apart) for late/non‑payment. The school is authorized to suspend a student for up to three days in response to late/non‑payment (after issuing the three warnings) and may withhold examination report cards, transfer certificates or block transfer on eSIS, and may withhold re‑enrolment until outstanding fees are settled. Schools will inform parents in writing at least three months before the end of the academic year if outstanding fees place re‑enrolment at risk.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not listed as part of the fee schedule; no boarding fees are included in the published fee policy. (Fees and inclusions/exclusions specify tuition does not include items such as uniform, food services, transport, examination fees or extra‑curricular activities.)
Other costs and exclusions
- Uniforms: not included in tuition; uniform costs are charged separately. Tuition explicitly excludes uniform costs.
- Food services / school meals: not included in tuition; meal plans or catering are separate charges.
- Transport (school bus): transport is not included in tuition. Bus service is available at a fixed annual fee per student; the bus fee amount varies by route.

Refund information (withdrawal and refund rules)
- Registration fee refund (new students): refundable if written notification is provided at least two weeks prior to the start of the academic year. Re‑registration fee refundable if written notification is provided on or before 30 June.
- Early withdrawal / prorated retention: if a student attends up to part of the first week of a term and then discontinues without sufficient written notice, the school may retain up to 5% of the annual tuition (equivalent to the registration/re‑registration fee). If a student attends between one week and three weeks in a term, the school retains the value of one full month of tuition. If attendance is over three weeks and up to six weeks in a term, the school retains the value of two full months of tuition. If attendance exceeds six weeks in a term, the school may retain the full term fee plus registration/re‑registration fee.
