- Application and acceptance/enrolment fees are non-refundable. For refunds related to visa refusal, the school's guidelines provide for reimbursement of pre-paid fees less an administration charge when evidence of visa refusal is supplied. Refund requests and cancellations must be made in writing to the Headmaster; the College's refund guidelines and international student handbook set out specific timelines and amounts retained in different withdrawal circumstances. A full term's written notice is required to withdraw a student or change boarding status; if one term's notice is not given, one term's fee will be charged in lieu of notice. OSHC levies and certain other pre-paid levies are not refundable. Refunds are reimbursed in Australian dollars and are processed within specified timeframes under the College refund guidelines.

Late payment, interest and enforcement

- The College reserves the right to charge interest on overdue accounts at the prevailing published rate of the referenced bank overdraft, to apply late payment fees (an example late payment administration fee is noted in the fees material), and to terminate enrolment for unpaid fees at the due date. A late payment fee or penalty may apply to overdue instalments.

Notes on invoicing and timing of miscellaneous charges

- Miscellaneous/optional items (subject-specific charges, textbooks, excursions, some co-curricular costs) are invoiced at the end of each term and are separate to tuition and consolidated charges; these term charges are due within 30 days of invoice. International students receive specific invoicing and pre-commencement instructions (for example, semester-level pre-payments and deposits).
