UPDATED - School fees
Fee Statements were recently emailed.
If you have not received statements at all this year, please contact the school office to ensure we have your correct email address.
If you are paying by direct debit/credit card/centrepay, the statement is for your records not a request for payment of your balance. Your scheduled payments will continue as authorised.
If you do not have a payment arrangement in place, we ask for payment of school fees either in full or by regular contributions.
Please don’t hesitate to contact the school office or Mr Butts if you have any questions regarding your fees or if you need to discuss payment options.
The successful running of school programs for your child’s education relies on fees being paid. Thank you for your cooperation.
