Fees
One Term Free offer:
The school board is currently supporting our community by offering a 25% discount on the tuition fee for all students who enrol in 2025.
For students across all year levels, and for Foundation students commencing at the beginning of 2025, this will be applied across the 2025 tuition fee.
We ask that students remain enrolled for the equivalent of a full year to access the discount.
