The school will determine the fees for this additional learning support on a case-by-case basis, which will be communicated to parents/guardians as the Additional Learning Support Fee.

Board Examination

• Every year a Board Examination fee will be charged to the students in Year 11, 12 & 13 who appear for the selected boards of the exams based on their selection of subjects.
