College Finance Office
The College’s school fees have been set for 2022. A letter from the Principal Mr Philip Morison is now available on the Parent Portal under docs for you to read. The 2022 College fee statements will be available via the Parent Portal from Monday 17 January 2022. You can view your statement and make payment on the Parent Portal from this date. Families that have chosen the option of having their statement emailed will also receive a copy via this method. Please note that no statements will be posted next January so if you are having trouble viewing your statement via the Parent Portal, please phone the College Finance Office. Once again, all current families will automatically continue with the same automatic payment plan that they have set up for the payment of fees in 2021.
