SCHOOL FEES

While remaining always sensitive to the needs of families in difficult and traumatic situations, the School has significant expenses and responsibility for the maintenance and provision of the outstanding facilities that have been provided here over many years.

The School is therefore essentially a user-pays organisation and full fees are expected from all who seek enrolment here.

School fees are set out each year detailing tuition, resources, insurance, excursions and other costs as determined by the School Advisory Body Finance Committee. The school expects that fees are paid promptly either by direct debit, at the time of acceptance in the School or at the time of receipt of the account.

For overseas students, one full term’s fees must be paid to validate enrolment acceptance.

Compassion for, and support of families in special circumstances will always be a priority.

In certain cases, provision exists for extensions of time for payment or some consideration of amounts, but only when the school is accorded the courtesy of immediate contact by parents to explain circumstances and to make alternative arrangements.

It is unreasonable and unjust to ignore fee accounts or to fail to contact the School promptly when problems affecting payment may arise. Debt collection processes will be initiated when necessary, in accordance with the Diocesan Fee Policy.

We have systematically provided various support systems to help families meet their payment of student fees.

A copy of the 2017 fee schedule along with information regarding payment options is attached for your information.

No family is excluded from fee paying obligations.
