School Fees

Pacific Hills is committed to making a quality Christian education available to as many students as possible in our community.  We are aware that for many families, school fees can be a significant investment.  For this reason, we provide substantial sibling discounts to assist families and we also offer significant ministry concessions for families in full time ministry.  To help lighten the load, a direct debit system is available to spread payments equally across the school year.

While we realise some families experience short term financial hardship, we do not want this to be the primary reason for students being unable to attend or remain at Pacific Hills.  For this reason, Pacific Hills are pleased to be able to allocate a limited amount of funds in our budget to provide assistance with fees to those in need.  The Registrar or Bursar can provide more information.

3. Please pay the balance owing on your fee statement by the end of the first week of term, unless you have joined the Direct Debit program or have a payment plan agreed to by the School. An administration fee (currently $30 incl. GST) per month will be charged until overdue fees are paid in full, or a payment plan is in place.
4. A dishonour fee (currently $30 incl. GST) will be charged per dishonoured payment.

7. The School normally gives a term’s notice for any tuition fee variations, but reserves the right to alter these fees and other charges without prior notice, and to charge additional fees not listed in this schedule on rare occasions.
8. In the event that fees are not paid and legal proceedings are deemed necessary by the School to recover outstanding fees, all recovery costs incurred will be added to the total amount outstanding.
9. If students are being withdrawn from the School, one term’s written notice to the Principal is required. Failure to provide a full term’s notice will result in one term’s fees being charged in lieu of notice.
