Billing schedule and payment terms

- School fees are charged on an annual basis and must be paid according to the school's published payment schedule.

The Learning Resources payment is required at registration. Instalment billing is available through this three-payment structure; per-term amounts above are approximate (annual fee ÷ 3).

- Specific due dates and the exact amounts for each instalment are posted in the school's yearly fee schedule and the Powerschool payment portal. Parents must clear any outstanding balances with the Accounts Department during withdrawal or re-registration.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school.

Other compulsory and occasional fees

Outstanding fees must be cleared before the withdrawal letter / good conduct certificate is issued. The school's Policies & Procedures detail the payment and withdrawal process.

Fee payment channels and options
