The levy covers such things as subject fees, textbook hire, school magazine, printing and minor excursions. The levy does not include excursions costing more than $12.00, sports registration fees or private music lessons where an external tutor teaches a particular instrument. There is an additional cost for camp, Year 9 $620, Year 12 $300 (camp is compulsory). This can be seen in the community portal.

All such payments will be collected separately and paid directly to the College Cashier.

Parents and Friends Levy

A $25.00 Parents and Friends Levy is charged to each family per Term. This is a compulsory charge as part of the College’s fee structure. Funds raised from this charge are provided to the Parents and Friends Committee, who in turn purchase items for the College. No other functions or fundraisers are held by the P & F.

Building Fund

An optional tax deductible donation to the Building Fund appears on the fee invoice. This is a necessary part of the overall revenue required for the development of the College. The Building Fund donation is $190 per family per term.

Default & Consequences of Default

Fees and levies unpaid as at the due date are subject to an administration fee of $15.00 (including GST) will be debited to all family accounts not paid before the due date (which is usually 14 days after the beginning of each term). A further administrative fee of $15 will be made each fortnight until the account is paid.

If the College agrees to a progress payment towards the term’s fees and those fees are being paid by direct debit, this charge will not apply. The administration fee is to defray the additional costs incurred through late payment. If the Parent defaults in payment of any invoice when due, the parent shall indemnify Daramalan College from and against all Daramalan College’s costs and disbursements including without limitation legal fees on a solicitor and own client or indemnity basis, whichever is higher, and in addition all of Daramalan College’s nominees costs of collection.
