2023 Fees
Attendance Dues are compulsory. These are paid to the Proprietor’s Trust and used for land and property development. In 2023 these are $1460 per child.
Board Donations are paid to the Board and help fund the education, including special character features, that is over and above a standard education funded by the Government. This includes things like handwork and woodwork, class plays, festivals, eurythmy, class projects, therapies, learning support assistants and extra teaching staff above entitlement from the Government. In 2023 the suggested amount for a child in Class 1 or Class 2 is $1800 per child, for a child in Class 3-7 the suggested amount is $2000. For a child in Class 8-12 the suggested amount is $2180.
We do also ask for a donation towards our camp programme to support the high quality camp experiences we offer. For Class 3-7 we suggest a $330 donation and for Classes 8-12 a $380 donation. Please note the actual costs for the camps exceed this and other school money is also budgeted toward the camp costs.
