Hale School

An Application Fee of $150 (including GST) must accompany all applications for admission. This fee covers administration costs and is non-refundable.

Enrolment Fee

A non-refundable Enrolment Fee (the “Fee”) of $8,100 is payable upon the receipt of a written offer of a place in the School. The purpose of this Fee is to assist with the ongoing provision of capital infrastructure.

A concession is offered for brothers subsequently enrolled. The fee payable for the first son enrolled under the Enrolment Fee system is $8,100, the fee payable for the second son is one half (1/2) of the Fee ($4,050) and the third and subsequent son(s) one quarter (1/4) of the Fee ($2,025).

The Fee as described above is payable in full by new enrollees in Pre-Primary to Year 9. The Fee applicable to boys entering Year 10 is three quarters (3/4) of the Fee ($6,075), Year 11 is one quarter (1/4) of the Fee ($2,025). There is no charge for new enrolments into Year 12.

Tuition and Boarding Fees

The Board of Governors has approved the annual tuition and boarding fees. Although this is an annual fee, the Board has endorsed three payment options to assist parents/guardians. Parents/guardians are required to nominate a method of payment prior to the commencement of the school year and accounts will be issued accordingly.

Option 1

One payment in advance to be paid by 1 February. (a 1% discount is offered)

Option 2

Three equal payments by 1 February, 1 May and 1 August.

Option 3

Ten equal instalments to be paid at the commencement of each month from 1 February and is only available using our direct debit system.

(a 0.5% administration charge applies to Option 3)

Parents’ & Friends’ Association

An annual membership fee of $75 per family is charged on the Term 1 account on behalf of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association.

Notebook Computers

All boys in Years 7 to 12 will be provided with a notebook computer compliant with the School’s specifications. The $2,400 cost includes software and insurance and will be charged via a resource levy of $800 per annum. The resource levy will be charged and payable on the first account.

Students who have previously been issued with a School laptop will continue with the arrangement that they entered into. An IT resource levy of $250 p.a will be charged for students in Years 1 and 2, and $450 p.a for students in Years 3 to 6.

Concession for Brothers

There is a reduction of 5% in the fees of the second and subsequent brother(s) in the School at the same time. No concession will apply to the eldest brother in the School.

Payment of Accounts

Cheques should be made payable to Hale School. Alternatively, credit card facilities (Mastercard, Visa, Diners Club and American Express) or BPay are available. A credit card fee of 0.75% will apply to Mastercard and Visa, 2.2% for Diners Club and 1.0% for American Express. This represents a

reimbursement of the current costs applied to our account by our bankers. Should our bankers increase this fee, then the increased fee will be on-charged to parents adopting this form of payment. Parents are able to pay for school fees, events and excursions via the Parent Portal.

Fees outstanding fourteen (14) days after the applicable payment option will attract a fee of $200 for late payment. All outstanding accounts are required to be paid in full by the last week of each Term.

The School has a direct debit system available for parents to pay the accounts. A direct debit request form must be completed in advance should you wish to take up this payment option.

Arrangements can also be made to pay future years fees in advance. Should you wish to consider this option then please discuss this with the Director of Finance and Governance.

GST

If Hale School is required to pay GST, this component will be charged to the account.

Insurance

It is strongly recommended that parents check their health and general insurance policies to ensure adequate medical, personal property and liability insurance cover.
