FEES AND CHARGES

Application fee

A non-refundable application fee (AUD $100) is payable at the time of lodging an application for a place at the school.

Once the application is lodged, parents or legal guardians will be asked for various documents including the student's recent school reports and a photocopy of their passport.

Placement and administration charge non-refundable AUD $250.

Placement acceptance

When a place is offered, parents are required to pay six months tuition fees and the full visa-length student health cover payment within 30 days.

Where in-country visa application procedures prohibit this the referring agent may apply in writing to the Head of Admissions for an extension to this date.

International students studying in Australia are required to be covered by Health Insurance as a safeguard against medical costs during the extent of their stay in Australia.  Payment details will be provided upon application.
