Fees

Fee Structure

Your child’s all-inclusive educational experience is billed in two parts. Firstly, you will be billed the standard Tuition Fee which includes the foundation of your child’s teaching costs and education. Then secondly, you will be billed the ‘CLEAR Levy’ (Comprehensive Levy: Education Amenities and Resources) – this Levy covers all other costs relating to your child’s education such as compulsory year level camps, excursions, Year 7-9 Laptop Program, book pack, participation in Children’s University, Year 12 jumpers, graduation dinner, School ID cards, school representation activities (eg. SACSA events), Activities Week, and any other classroom expenses. The yearly ‘CLEAR Levy’ is not subject to any School Card or sibling discount as this is a cost per student. Our intention is that the ‘CLEAR Levy’ replaces the incidental items usually billed throughout the year.

• Other charges specific to an individual senior school subject selection may still apply, for example Outdoor Education camps, scientific calculators, or the Mission Trip.
• Bus fees are a separate charge at this does not apply to all students. Any 2025 Year 8 or 9 students that have paid for their laptop in part or full will receive a full or pro-rata credit to allow for the ‘CLEAR Levy’.

Payment of Fees

School fees and the ‘CLEAR Levy’ will be billed to you at the beginning of Term 1 each year and are payable in full unless a payment plan commitment has been made. All payment plan commitments MUST be made before Week 2 of Term 1.

Early settlement discount will be applied as follows

• 4% off full term payment if paid within 14 days of the start of term.
• 6% off full year fee if paid within 14 days of invoice date.
• Part-time students: Will be charged a fixed rate of 40% of the total school fee and levy amount with the remaining 60% to be divided by a full-time load of subjects and then charged depending on the number of subjects studied.

• Fees, Charges, and Discounts are subject to change from time to time. At the discretion of the Principal, additional discounts or alternative payment plans may be made.

School Card Discount

School Card concessions are available. You will need to apply at the beginning of each year to the Department of Education School Card Scheme to receive a School Card discount. This can be done online at www.sa.gov.au or you may request a form from the school that needs to be filled out and returned to the school. School fees will be billed at the full rate and then a credit passed once approval and notification of eligibility has been granted. We encourage families who believe they qualify for School Card to complete the appropriate application forms as soon as they are available which is usually late January.
