Residential Accommodation Fees

A gentle reminder that the first and second instalments of the Residential Accommodation Fee should be paid in full prior to the commencement of Term 3.

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 will shortly commence a review of accounts of concern and will be communicating with those parents and carers soon. 

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