- Devices and stationery: Students have device requirements by year level (Years 5–9 require an iPad with keyboard and Apple Pencil; Years 10–13 require an Apple MacBook).

- Withdrawal notice: One full term's written notice to the Principal is required prior to withdrawal for either boarders or day students.
