School Fee Payment Options
All fee accounts are provided by email and are available on Parent Lounge early in Term 1 of the school year.
Parents log into Parent Lounge and click on the heading Accounts & Payments and select School Fees Account to nominate their payment option.
- Parents can choose to pay the full account for the year upfront by clicking on ‘Make a Payment’. Up front annual payments attract a 4% discount on the tuition component of school fees.
- Alternatively, parents can add a payment method (Credit card or bank account) and then set up a payment schedule to have School Fee payments direct debited weekly / fortnightly/ monthly / quarterly.
Click here for a step by step guide to set up your Parent Lounge Payment Schedule.
Please note that there are no credit card or transactions fees charged to parents on direct debits (these are absorbed by the College). However, if a payment fails, a dishonour fee of $15 will be charged to the parent.
If at any time parents need to delay their payment by up to 3 days, or need to change bank account or credit card details, they can do this in the same area on Parent Lounge.
Edstart – an alternative payment option for parents requiring additional flexibility.
Edstart can provide families with additional flexibility and choice for paying school fees. Edstart provides tailored payment plans that allow families to smooth all their education-related costs into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments across the school year, with the ability to lower their annual school fee spend by extending them over a longer period.
