A school card discount of 50% of the normal fee applies to qualifying families for Balaklava Campus and 40% for Clare Campus (see below).This table shows the complete fee structure.

School Card Discount

To receive School Card discount, at the beginning of each year you must apply to the Department of Education, Training & Employment (DETE) and receive official notification that you are eligible for the School card benefit, before the School can make concession. Note that the information on the DECD website is updated each January.
The tuition fee will be invoiced at the full rate until official notification of eligibility is received by the School.
Please contact the school for the appropriate Application Form and due dates for lodgement. The lodgement dates and Application Forms will not be available until the end of January.
We encourage families who believe they could qualify for school card to complete the appropriate application forms.
