2026 schedule of fees and charges
TO YEAR 12
Tuition and Boarding Fees
Fees include normal sport, physical education, laboratory, library and excursions up to Year 12 and compulsory camps up to and including Year 9. From 2026 the Junior School annual fee is inclusive of the resource levy, which is charged to families in lieu of a booklist.
For boarding students, accommodation, meals, laundry, ordinary mending and routine nursing attendance is included. Boarders will be charged an annual weekend recreation fee of $300 in the January billing. This charge is for all full-time boarding students and enables our Recreation Officer to plan weekend events for students, instead of paying for individual events.
Device Levy (Compulsory)
The device programme provides students in Pre-Primary with a 1:2 learning device and students in Years 1–12 with a 1:1 learning device (iPad, iPad Air or MacBook Air) as part of the academic programme. The device levy is billed to student accounts at the start of each calendar year.
The programme includes the device, AppleCare+, cover or case, insurance (excess of $500), technical management, and application support, software and training.
Music Tuition (Optional)
Music tuition is charged per lesson depending on its duration. Lesson fees are charged each term in advance, based on the number of scheduled lessons in the term.
Musical instrument hire costs $400 per annum. The hire fee is charged at the commencement of the calendar year. This fee enables instruments to be serviced, maintained and upgraded as required.
