Contributions Fees & Charges 2020

Welcome to all new families to the College community and welcome back to our existing families. I hope everyone enjoyed a bit of a break over the vacation period.

 

Contributions, Fees and Charges 2020

All families should have received a copy of the Contributions, Fees and Charges booklet for 2020 either electronically or in booklet form. This booklet lists the maximum contributions and charges the College can request from parents/carers through the course of the year. If you have not received a copy of this booklet, an electronic version is available on our website [https://www.denmarkag.wa.edu.au/enrolment/fees-charges/]. If you would like a paper copy of the booklet, please email the College.

 

Account Related Communication from the College

Statements summarising all items charged and payments received will be posted twice per term. If a student changes a study stream or if your account goes into credit, you will receive communication from the College regarding this.

 

The first post out of statements is scheduled to occur next week. Accounts do go through quality checks, however, if you do happen to notice something not quite right, please contact us.
