Payment Options
The Enrolment Fee Deposit can be paid in full or by two instalment payments. Where an offer is being accepted after October, alternative due dates will be provided.
The Tuition, Activity and Resource Fees can be paid by the following methods:
- Upfront full payment
- Direct debit payment plan through weekly, fortnightly, or monthly instalments
The College understands that school fees often are required to be split between two account holders. Due to this, the College offers the option to split student fees equally between both account holders.
Most student fees can be paid by a third-party where an agreement is in place, however, caregivers will remain liable to pay fees if the third-party fails to make payments.
Payment Support
Students enrolled with the College in Year 10, 11 and 12 commencing in Term 1^ may be eligible for the Back to School Payment Scheme (commonly referred to as the Back to School Voucher) from the Northern Territory (NT) Government. Students are entitled to receive a grant that can be used for educational goods and services.
