Enrolment Fees

In seeking to fulfil a ‘Spirit of Stewardship’ in effectively managing school resources, the College continually examines all aspects of fees, funding, charges and expenses. In such a large school this is an ongoing challenge.  As part of this ongoing analysis, comparisons to like schools are also considered. After many years of no adjustment, the College has decided to adjust the Enrolment Fees for incoming students. 

The Enrolment Fees for students where the fee is paid on or after 1 January 2026 will change as follows:

• From 1 January 2026 the Enrolment Fee will increase to $3,000.  This will include TOBA Membership.  For students currently at the College and those who have paid the Enrolment Fee prior to 1 January 2026, the TOBA Membership fee has been and will continue to be charged in Year 12.

• There will no longer be a sibling discount applied to the Enrolment Fee, i.e. the Enrolment Fee for all students (including siblings) will be $3,000.

   

As previously stated, the College is making these adjustments subsequent to a comparison with other similar schools and after consideration of the impact on parents.  It should be noted that the College’s Enrolment Fees for a first child enrolled, and siblings is considerably lower than most PSA schools.

Parents of children currently at the College who want to pay the current Enrolment Fee for siblings at the current fee (for siblings) of $1,315 will need to complete the enrolment form and pay the required fee before the end of this year.  Parents wanting to do this should email the College’s Registrar registrar@ trinity.wa.edu.au requesting the Enrolment Form. 

The offer of enrolling siblings in this manner is subject to a successful interview process after payment of the Enrolment Fee.  As such, the College reserves the right to reject the application and refund the fee should it be considered that the student is best not enrolled at the College.
