Fee Policies
Instalments
Annual Fees may be paid in three (3) instalments being the first three terms of the year (or more frequently by arrangement). Fees become due on the date of the invoice, which will be in the first week of each term and should be paid promptly. The College accepts payment by cash, cheque or credit card (Bankcard, Mastercard, Visa), B-Pay and Direct Debit Authority.
Terms of Credit/Discount
Credit is allowed until the end of the second week of Terms 1, 2 and 3. Families who are unable to pay their account in full by the due date should contact the Business Manager without delay to discuss payment arrangements.
Pursuit of Unarranged Non-Payment of Fees
The College will pursue payment of fees where no arrangement has been made for delayed settlement. This can ultimately mean the use of a debt collection agency or the legal system, where requests for payment by the College have failed.
Financial Hardship
There is a very compassionate process for those parents, who through genuine financial hardship, are unable to pay all or part of the College fees. Such cases are considered by the Business Manager, the Principal and the College Finance Committee. Confidentiality is assured and some documentation will be required.
Withdrawal from School
Ten weeks notice of withdrawal of a boy from the College is required. Upon withdrawal, parents remain liable for a weekly pro-rata portion of all fees up to the withdrawal date or a date ten weeks after notice is given whichever is the latest. Notice of withdrawal must be made in writing or by personal telephone call to the Principal, not to any other member of school staff.
Insurance
The College insures its own property. It does NOT insure the belongings of any student. The College DOES take out 24-hour accident insurance (365 days/year, worldwide) on behalf of all students.
