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.

Payment of Fees

Local Students

Annual Fees are charged in four quarterly instalments and must be paid one full quarter in advance. Billing of the quarterly instalments occurs in October, January, April, and July each year.

Accordingly, a student commencing in the Summer school term (February 2024) will be billed for their first quarterly instalment in October 2023.

Fee instalments are due and payable on the first day of each school term. A late fee of $150 will be charged on accounts not paid within 14 days of the due date. Any concessions will also be forfeited.

A student may not commence a new school term if the preceding quarterly instalment remains unpaid for 14 days before the next school term commences.

Parents have the option of paying the Annual Fee in advance with a 2.25% discount by Friday 20 October 2023. If selecting this option please advise us prior to the above date by email at fees@scotch.wa.edu.au.

Remission of fees because of absence due to illness or any other cause will only be made in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the College.

International Students

Fees are charged on an annual basis and are payable in advance by 30 January. A late fee of $150 will be charged on accounts not paid within 14 days of the due date. Any concessions will also be forfeited.

Remission of fees because of absence due to illness or any other cause will only be made in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the College.

  • 7.5% for the second sibling
  • 10% for the third and subsequent siblings
  • 2.5% for children of Old Scotch Collegians

Only one concession per child is granted.

Other charges such as uniforms, text materials and optional activities may, from time to time, be charged to accounts. These charges should be paid at the same time as the quarterly instalment. These items may include GST.

Scotch Parents' Subscription

The annual levy of $100 per family will be included on the January statement for the year. While payment is optional, these funds are managed by the Scotch Parents' committee, and are allocated to provide additional resources, benefitting all students.


Uniforms

New and second-hand uniforms are available from the Scotch College Uniform Shop. The cost is charged to the fee account or parents may pay on purchase if they prefer. For online ordering (payment by Credit Card or PayPal) please contact the Uniform Shop.


Insurance

It is strongly recommended that parents check their health and general insurance policies to ensure they have adequate medical, personal property and liability insurance cover as the School cannot accept responsibility for medical expenses (including ambulance) arising from an accident or illness, loss or damage to personal effects and property, or liability incurred by students for bodily injury.


GST

There is no GST on tuition fees, music fees or the IT device levy. The boarding fee does not include GST. GST is included in the registration fee.


Change of Circumstances

Please contact our Admissions team for any changes to the home address, email and/or phone number of any family member at admissions@scotch.wa.edu.au.


Notice of Withdrawal

One school term's notice in writing must be given to Admissions prior to the withdrawal of a student from the School. In default of such notice one quarter of the annual fee is payable. Boarding students are expected to remain as boarders for the full year, from Summer Term through to and including Spring Term. Parents wishing to change the status of a boarding student to day boy must give a school term's notice in writing to Admissions.


Variation of Conditions

This schedule is effective from 1 October 2023. The Council reserves the right to vary its business conditions from time to time.
