Tuition and Boarding Fees
Fees include normal sport, physical education, laboratory, library and excursions up to Year 12 and compulsory camps up to and including Year 9.
For boarding students, accommodation, meals, laundry, ordinary mending and routine nursing attendance is included. Boarders will be charged an annual weekend recreation fee of $260 in the January billing. This charge is for all full-time boarding students and enables our Recreation Officer to plan weekend events for students, instead of paying for individual events.

The OSC Membership Fee can be refunded if your son does not commence at the School.

If no commitment is made, one third of the Endowment Fee ($2,550) must be paid. For a boy continuing onto Pre-Primary the pre-paid fee is then deducted from the full Confirmation Fee. For girls entering Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten, the endowment fee is $1,275.
