• The school is able to offer fee assistance in the form of reduced tuition fees for families experiencing financial hardship. (N.B. This reduction does not apply to any levies) Such fee assistance applies to a calendar year and families should lodge their applications by the last week in November of the previous year or as soon as appropriate after a change of financial circumstances. In order to apply for fee assistance, families are required to contact the School’s Financial Assistant to obtain a Fee Assistance Application which, together with all necessary documentation, is submitted to the Business Manager for consideration. If a family wishes to obtain fee assistance for subsequent years, they must make a fresh application each year. It is always advisable for fee assistance applicants to make an appointment, through the Financial Assistant, to discuss matters with the Business Manager prior to lodging their written application.
• If a family experiences an unexpected short-term crisis (such as an income-affecting injury/illness or unexpected loss of work) they are able to apply to the school for a deferment or reduction of fees for a short period of time to ensure educational continuity for their children during the crisis. The application procedures are the same as for the other types of fee assistance.
• The School will consider a discount and fee assistance for recognised pastors/ ministers of evangelical Christian Churches that align with the School’s Statement of Faith. The application procedures are the same as for the other types of fee assistance.
• All applications are assessed confidentially by the Business Manager and in consultation with the Principal, as delegated by the Board.
