(See note below about missing published details.)
Fee payment options
- The published fees and admissions pages show that invoices are issued for tuition and levies, but they do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, or other). Invoices and enrolment documentation are the likely place where payment instructions are provided.

Brief note on available published details and outstanding items
- The school's published pages provide clear figures for domestic annual tuition, the international tuition annual and per‑term rates, enrolment and admission levies (and state non‑refundability for those fees), curriculum/activity levies, homestay weekly costs and several common additional costs. However, the publicly‑available pages do not set out a formal, itemised tuition refund policy for tuition or homestay fees, nor do they list the specific payment methods accepted on invoices. These items are not published on the fees and international admissions pages referenced above.
