This fee will ensure a place for your child through the Early Learning years and also ensure a prioritised place into Prep. $2,000 will be credited back to the first term’s school fees when your child commences Prep. Please understand that the Admission Fee is not refundable should you decide that your child will not be continuing on to Prep at The Geelong College. However, your priority enrolment status will not be removed if you wish to enrol your child at a later stage in the school.

Rendering Of Accounts

Fee statements will be issued four times a year (three times a year for Year 12) and are due and payable at the commencement of each term. Fees not paid by the specified date will incur an administration fee which is currently $150 per account. Each statement will also include sundry charges such as music fees, special bookroom items and materials for art and woodwork. A term’s notice in writing must be given to the Principal, or half a term’s tuition and/or boarding fee is payable before a student leaves the College. Parents may elect to pay tuition fees and boarding fees in regular agreed instalments. Contact the Finance Department on 5226 3103 to confirm this arrangement.
