Account Clearance Dates

A gentle reminder that the first and second instalments of the Residential Accommodation Fee should have been paid in full prior to the commencement of Term 4.

This does not apply to parents and carers who are on an approved payment plan or are in receipt of the Assistance for Isolated Children where payments are directed to the College.

The College has commenced its Term 4 review of accounts and will be communicating with those parents and carers with outstanding accounts soon, with available options. 

All Year 12 accounts should have been settled in full by Friday, 21 October 2022.

All Year 11 accounts should be settled in full by Friday, 18 November 2022.

All Year 10 accounts should be settled in full by Friday, 16 December 2022.

A big thank you to those parents and carers who are up-to-date with their accounts.
