In addition to the information provided below a detailed schedule of fees (PDF) is available. All fees are reviewed annually and the fee scale for the following year is usually released in September.
An application fee of $110 per child or $220 per household (2 or more students applying at the same time) is required to accompany the application forms for enrolment at the School. This fee is non-refundable.
Application fees are current for a period of six months after the initial date of entry indicated on the Application for Enrolment – Student form.
Unless the enrolment proceeds within this time, or the school receives written notification of exceptional circumstances, the application fee and the enrolment will be forfeit and a new application will be required.
An Enrolment Offer Acceptance Fee of $650 per child is to be paid on confirmation of enrolment. There is a maximum Enrolment Offer Acceptance Fee of $1300 per household.
This Enrolment Offer Acceptance Fee is non-refundable.
The School year is divided into four terms. During the period prior to the commencement of each term an invoice will be forwarded for the fees payable. (New students will be invoiced in the first week of attendance). EFTPOS and Direct debit facilities are available. Components within these fees will be identified and seperately invoice to enable families to claim education tax deduction.

The School, where possible, attempts to contain fees to minimise any unnecessary burden on our community. However, it is not possible to make a general provision for all activities. Therefore, we have determined that a number of additional fees may apply from time to time. These are generally limited to provision of services or activities that are in addition to normal classroom tuition.
Additional fees apply to:
All excursions and activities (including Outdoor Education) are classified according to the following schedule:
A concession in tuition fees is allowable where two or more members of the immediate family attend the School. The sibling reduction applies to subsequent children enrolled in the same or lower year, irrespective of when the child started at this school of their actual age. In most cases this is the same as by age.
The scale of concessions is:
Please note that concessions may be withdrawn if the school account becomes overdue.
An early payment discount of 4% is available for those paying the whole of the following years estimated tuition fee before the end of Term 4 in the current year. In this regard, an estimate of the following years tuition fee will be sent to each family usually in November each year.
Future years Tuition Fees payment in advance can be arranged by contacting the Assistant Bursar. This is generally based on the current year published fee scale without early payment discounts, however you are protected from any fee scale increase subsequently approved by the School Council.
Fees and levies not paid by the due date will be subject to a $50 administration charge for each time the debtor/family is contacted, until the account is bought into line.
PLEASE NOTE: Where particular circumstances arise that may prevent timely settlement of the School Tuition Fees, a request should be made to the Principal regarding an alternative arrangement for the payment of fees. This may include direct debit or cash payment on a programmed fortnightly or monthly basis. An administration charge may apply in the latter case.
It is expected that all families will contribute to the School Building & Library Funds. The expected level of donation is $450 each year for the Building Fund & $50 for the Library Fund . (Your contribution may be paid by the term.) All donations over $2 to the St Columba Anglican School Building & Library Funds are tax deductible.
