A composite fee is charged to cover various items such as materials, excursions, school camps, student diary and technology costs.

These charges are advised separately.

Accepted Enrolments:

A Notice of Enrolment is forwarded to the parent when a place has been allotted. The Conditions of such acceptance are set out in this Business Letter and on the rear of the Application for Enrolment Form.

Acceptance of Enrolment is confirmed by payment of the following entry charges for Years Prep—Year 12:

1. An Administration Fee of $150 (non refundable) to the School. (Overseas Full–Fee Paying Students $175 non refundable.)
2. A Capital Levy of $620 (non refundable) payable to “The Strathcona Foundation Limited” and payable up to twenty (20) months before entry. (Overseas Full–Fee Paying Students $500 non refundable.)

For new entrants in Years 11 & 12, the non-refundable Capital Levy is $310, payable to “The Strathcona Foundation Limited”.

In the event of the entry being cancelled, this Levy will be refunded by The Foundation provided notice of cancellation in writing is given by 1 June of the year prior to commencement at the School. The amount of levy payable is the rate prevailing at the time the entry is secured. The levy applies only to the first and second daughters.

Early Learning Centre (ELC) / Pre Prep:

(For applications and enrolments in 2011 and beyond)

1. An Administration Fee of $50 should accompany the application form.
2. Payment of an ELC Holding Fee of $800 is required within 30 days of invoice date, in the year preceding entry for all ELC students. This amount will be credited to the student’s February fee account. This ELC Holding fee is not refundable should the student not commence at our ELC.
3. Due to high demand for ELC places preference will be given to ELC enrolments where the student will continue to Prep at Strathcona. Payment of the School Administration Fee $150 and Capital Levy $620 is required to secure a place in Prep and therefore preference into the ELC.

Waiting List:

If a place is not immediately allotted, the parent will be advised that the applicant’s name has been placed on the Waiting List.

Old Strathconians’ Association:

A once only payment of $185 to the Old Strathconians’ Association for your daughter’s life membership will be charged as part of the first term fees payable when your daughter enters the School.

Fees in Advance:

The School offers a discount of 3% to parents who pay the full year’s tuition fee in advance by 1st December of the prior year. Parents interested should contact the Business Manager or Accountant to discuss the details.

A sibling concession of 10% of fees applies to the second member of a family and 15% concession to subsequent members of a family who are at the School at the one time. (It does not apply to the first family member or to students in receipt of a bursary or scholarship.)

Conditions of attendance:

The School’s terms of trading are fourteen days and payment in full is expected within these terms.

Acceptance of an enrolment is acknowledgement that each signatory on the Enrolment Form is jointly and severally liable to the School for payment of all accounts. This applies even if the accounts are usually paid by one parent or guardian, and regardless of whether the accounts are addressed only to one parent or guardian. A parent or guardian of a child may not delay or refuse to pay an account on the basis that another parent or guardian of the child is responsible for payment of all or part of any account.

In the event of a withdrawal, written notice must be given to the Principal by the first (1st) Monday of the previous term, or payment of one term’s fees, in lieu of notice, is required.No refund on pro-rata fees applies if a girl leaves school during the term.

A student may be refused to commence a new term whilst there are fees outstanding. Where leave is granted for absence of varying periods and for which a place is reserved on return, a holding fee of one third (1/3) of the annual fee is payable in advance.

Fees are normally reviewed annually with fees for the subsequent year being determined in October and communicated thereafter. The School reserves the right to review fees during a year if costs increase substantially.

School Building Fund:

Parents contribute on a voluntary basis to the School Building Fund. These contributions are quite separate from enrolment and tuition fees and are used to assist in funding building projects and minor capital works of the School, which benefit all students, whether present or future. For income tax purposes, all amounts contributed to “The Strathcona Building and Maintenance Fund” are allowable in full as an income taxation deduction.
