Parents and Friends Association Subscriptions to the Parents and Friends Association (P&F) are optional and encouraged.

Tax-Deductible Donations It is hoped that all families will support the ongoing development of the Preschool through the contribution of tax-deductible donations to the Building Trust and Scholarship trust. These contributions are especially appreciated and essential for the future of the Preschool. The suggested amount is $300 per semester.

Withdrawal or Transfer of Student The withdrawal of a student requires at least four weeks written notice, otherwise, four weeks fees in lieu of notice will be payable.

Extension of Fee Payments PLC Sydney has partnered with Edstart to provide additional payment options for school fees. Edstart is a specialist education payments provider specifically designed to manage all education-related expenses in one place. You may package any education-related expenses including tuition fees, uniforms, textbooks and extra-curricular activities, which can then be paid for up to five years after a child has completed her studies. You can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments on any date in line with your income.

Business owners can also choose payment structures in line with your seasonal cash flow. This is an optional service subject to approval and fees which will be made clear

Documentation must be on letterhead and signed by the relevant professional.

The Higher-Order Multiple ● For each child from the third child in the multiple onwards (i.e. not for the first two children) ● Only for families with triplets or multiple children above triplets, i.e. quadruplets, quintuplets etc. ● Only for 3, 4 and 5-year-old children. ● Must provide the below evidence: ○ Same date of birth (copy of Birth Certificate to be kept by the preschool service provider enrolling the children) ○ Same address ○ Enrolled at the same preschool

A Late Payment Administration Fee is charged at 0.5% for each month an invoice is overdue. This amount reflects the administrative and financial costs of collecting outstanding amounts. A student will not be able to commence a new term whilst fees remain outstanding.
