Applications for entry to º«Å®Ðã, from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12, must be submitted on the College’s Application for Enrolment Form on the College website. A nonrefundable Application Fee of $250 (including GST) is payable when the Form is lodged with the College. A student’s name will be registered as the Applicant following the receipt of the Form and the Fee.

Enrolment applications for Prep to Year 12 are subject to the outcome of an interview conducted by the Principal or nominee. Interviews normally occur 24 months prior to the proposed date of entry.

Enrolment applications for the ELC are subject to the outcome of an interview conducted by the Director of the ELC in the year prior to entry. Entry to the College is subject to the same conditions as detailed for Prep to Year 12 applicants.

Following the application process, and subject to the College Enrolment Policy and position availability, a formal offer will be made.

Parents are then required to sign and return the acceptance offer for their child with a non-refundable or transferable confirmation fee of $1,500 (P-12) or $750 (ELC). The person/s signing the Acceptance Agreement is/are completing an agreement to abide by the Terms and Conditions and Business Regulations.

º«Å®Ðã’s enrolment offer includes an agreement on payment of fees and acceptance of College policies. Once a student is confirmed, automatic Life Membership is awarded to the Alumnae Association (Prep to Year 12).

Parents acknowledge that due to the ongoing nature of a child’s enrolment, the College commits considerable planning and resources in advance of each school year and each term based on known enrolments, class lists and subject selections.

One full School term’s notice is required, in writing to the Principal, before the cancellation of enrolment or withdrawal of a student from the College. If the required notice is not given, a fee of one full term’s tuition fees will be charged.

For example, if a student withdraws from the College during a term without providing a full term’s written notice to the Principal, payment is required for that entire term as well as the full fees for the following term, along with any other applicable fees, charges and levies.

1. Tuition fees are billed in advance in November for all students enrolled in the following year. Tuition fees must be paid either in full by 29 November or by monthly payment (10 instalments) from November to August.
2. Accounts are payable by the listed due dates. An administration charge for late payment of $250 per month will apply if a payment is not received by the College due date.
3. The College may choose to not permit a student to re-enter classes in a new term when fees remain outstanding.
4. For financial arrangements regarding the absence of students, contact the Director of Business Services on +61 3 8862 1005 or [email protected]
5. If a student is absent due to illness, there will be no reduction in fees. Every effort will be made to remain in close contact with the family and arrange home study for the student where possible.
6. Students that undertake vocational subjects or subjects by Distance Education may be charged an additional levy by the College or external provider.
7. Parents are responsible for payment of avoidable breakage or damage to College property caused by the student.
8. The Principal may authorise particular expenditure (for example student programs or resource materials) to be charged to the family fee account.
9. Boarding fees will be billed at the commencement of the school year. Boarding fees must be paid either in full by 15 February or by monthly payments (10 instalments) from February to November.
10. Fees are subject to annual review. Parents will be notified if the College Council alters these fees and conditions. A full copy of the College Tuition Fee Policy is available upon request.

1. Payment of the annual tuition fees in full by 29 November will receive a 3% discount.
2. Payment of tuition fees in full for two (2) years in advance can be made at current school year rates, where such payment is made by 30 September each year.

Discounts are not applicable to º«Å®Ðã families (including Boarding families) with Bursary or Special Discount arrangements.

A sibling discount on tuition fees will only be applied to siblings who concurrently attend the College- second sibling 5%, third sibling 10% and fourth and additional siblings 25%.

The sibling discount will not be applied by the College where other discounts, scholarships or fee remission have been applied to an account.

The sibling discount does not apply to Boarding fees

Parents whose daughters are to be absent for more than five weeks during a term are required to have given at least one Term’s notice in writing to the Principal. For students who will be absent for a semester (two consecutive terms) or more with an expected year of return, a place will be held over for a holding deposit equivalent to one term of annual tuition fees for the year level to which the student returns (charged at current rates.) The deposit will be credited against tuition fees upon the student’s return. The holding deposit is non-refundable or transferable should the student not return to the College.

An offer of a position of enrolment at a particular year level of entry may be accepted and deferred to a later year of entry subject to payment of a deferment fee or holding deposit (equivalent to one term’s fees). The amount is paid to secure the offered position of enrolment at the College until the student commences at the College. The date on which the deferment is made becomes the new application date. This also applies to students who are currently enrolled and depart the College and request that their place be held for possible return. The deposit is credited towards the next instalment to be charged upon entry/re-entry in the event a place is available. This payment is non-refundable or transferable, should the student not return to the College.

A student will not be permitted to participate in overseas tours or fee based co-curricular activities, such as rowing, music, speech and drama until all tuition, levies and sundry fees are paid in full, or the approved Payment Plan is immediately brought up to date.

Students will be subject to full fees for each school year, noting the ongoing academic and wellbeing support provided by the College.

GST is not charged on Fees and Levies and Co-curricular activities. Other activities, however, may attract GST such as the catering component of Boarding Fees.

It is a requirement that families advise the College of any change to their contact details, family circumstances or any other relevant particulars. Personal details can be updated via the College Portal or by contacting College Reception on +61 3 8862 1000 or email [email protected]
