Fee Information and Payment Arrangements
Fee information is emailed to families each year by early to mid-November. Families are asked to check their email (including junk/spam folders) to ensure they receive the annual fee information.
If a plan has not been received by late November, families must contact the Finance Department to request a copy.
All families are required to return their Payment Arrangement Agreement, even if they intend to pay their fees in full. This ensures the College is aware of each family’s intentions and avoids the need for further follow-up.
Families who do not return a payment plan will be required to pay their annual fees in full by the end of February.
Fee Payment Options
Families must pay school fees using one of the following approved methods:
Payment in Full
- The total annual fee must be paid by the end of February each year
OR
Payment Plan - Families may choose to pay via an approved instalment arrangement:
- Weekly
- Fortnightly
- Monthly
- Per Term (by the end of Week 2 of each term)
Payment Facilities: The following facilities are available for the payment of accounts:
- Cash
- Bpay
- Direct Debit
- Credit Card (not available for weekly payments)
- EFTPOS
- Centrepay deduction
The payment amounts required will be listed on the individual plans that are sent to each family. If additional time or alternative arrangements are needed, families must contact the Finance Office to discuss options.
All payment plans must be arranged with, and approved by, the College’s Finance Team.
Direct Debit Rejection Procedure
To ensure the smooth and consistent collection of fees, the following process applies to all accounts using direct debit & direct credit as a payment method.
1. Direct Debit / Direct Credit Card Rejections
Where a direct debit payment is rejected by the payer's financial institution, the following process will apply:
Administrative Fee:
- An administrative fee of $20.00 will be charged to the account for each of the first five (5) rejected payments. This fee covers the cost of managing failed transactions and associated follow-up.
2. Cancellation of Direct Debit
- After five (5) consecutive or cumulative rejections, the direct debit arrangement will be automatically cancelled.
- The full outstanding balance on the account will become immediately due and payable within 14 days of the fifth rejection.
3. Non-Payment or No Response
If payment is not received or no communication is made with the administration team within the 14-day period:
- All current and future enrolments will be placed on hold pending a fee appointment with the Finance Manager to discuss and resolve the account status.
