Parents are therefore presented with published annual figures and separate published itemised charges (books/technology); detailed billing instalment options or specific due dates are not published on the fees page.

Boarding fees

Refund information
- A general, single-line refundable-fee policy for tuition is not published alongside the tuition table. Specific school activities and event pages include their own refund conditions (for example: the National Day event fee specifies that one day's notice is required if a child cannot attend, otherwise no refund is given). For tuition refunds or formal refund procedures, no general tuition-refund schedule or terms are published on the publicly available fees page.

Fee payment options
- The fees page and published fee table list amounts but do not publish a standard list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, post-dated cheques, etc.) alongside the tuition table.
