This Business Notice sets out the terms and conditions under which students are enrolled at Caulfield Grammar School. The Business Notice is current as at 11 October, but the School retains the right to alter the notice from time to time to meet changing conditions. The Chief Financial Officer will be pleased to discuss any queries with parents or guardians.
1.1 Parents/guardians are subject to the terms and conditions of this Business Notice in good faith. Parents/guardians must, at the time of being invited to an interview, advise the School of any matters that pertain to the educational, physical or psychological development of their child, as this information is of significant importance in permitting the School to assess the child’s needs.
1.2 When an Application for Enrolment form is lodged, a non-refundable Application Fee of $100 is payable to the School. The School will acknowledge receipt of the application in writing.
1.3 Prior to the year of entry, waitlists are activated and information including school reports are requested. An interview with a senior member of staff is arranged at which the parents/guardians and prospective student attend. A formal offer of a place in the School may then be made, and a Confirmation of Enrolment Fee of $2,000 per student is immediately payable to accept a place. Upon receipt of such monies, return of a Confirmation of Enrolment Form signed by each parent or guardian, and completion of other enrolment procedures, the School provides formal confirmation of a place. The Confirmation of Enrolment Fee consists of a $1,000 Enrolment Fee and a $1,000 pre-payment on the first instalment of the tuition fees. In the event that an enrolment is withdrawn prior to commencing, the $2,000 Confirmation of Enrolment Fee is non-refundable. A 10% reduction of the $2,000 Confirmation of Enrolment Fee applies for second and younger siblings enrolled.
1.4 Enrolment is at the discretion of the Principal, as is the level of entry to the School. The School does not provide reasons when declining an enrolment application.
