Capital Levy

The Capital Levy is a per family annual compulsory contribution (Non Tax Deductible). The purpose of this contribution is to provide for the acquisition, construction or maintenance of the College buildings.

Payment of Fees in Advance

A discount of 5% is available to families who wish to pay one full year’s Tuition Fee Account and Capital Levy in advance. Families who wish to pay two or more years fees in advance will be charged the current Schedule of Fees, for each year paid in advance.

For example.  If your child is entering year 7 in 2010, however you wish to pay tuition in advance for Years  7, 8,9 and 10, you will receive a 5% discount on your Year 7 tuition and you will be charged the current 2010 rate of tuition for Years 8,9 and 10. 

In order to take advantage of these options, payment must be received by no later than 20th January of each year. Payment received after this date will not be eligible for the discount.

Please direct any enquiries regarding payment of fees in advance directly to the Finance Department on 1300 002 225 (ext 2207).

Direct Debit - Methods of Payment

It is a condition of entry into the College that fees are paid by Direct Debit (with the exception of Payment of Fees in Advance option).

Listed below are the options available for the payment of fees by Direct Debit:

  • Weekly ( 44 Instalments payable during the months of February to November, inclusive)
  • Fortnightly (22 Instalments payable during the months of February to November, inclusive)
  • Monthly (10 Instalments payable during the months of February to November, inclusive)
  • Quarterly ( 4 Instalments payable during the months of February, May, August & November)

Please select the direct debit option best suited to your circumstances, complete the Direct Debit form and forward it to the Accounts Department at the Valley Campus.

Once you have completed a Direct Debit form you are not required to complete a new form each year. The College will advise you at the beginning of each year, of the amount of your regular payments for that year.

Parental Assistance Programme

All families will be charged $125.00 for the Parental Assistance Programme on their Fee Statement at the start of the year.  To have this fee credited, parents must lodge the Parental Assistance Programme form and complete their chosen activity during the designated period .  Families who have not lodged their form and participated in the Programme by end of school year will have the Parental Assistance Programme charge deducted from their nominated account together with the final Direct Debit instalment for the year.

Fee Discounts

Fee discounts may apply for the third, fourth and subsequent children provided the students are attending Beaconhills College concurrently.  To be eligible for this discount you must be the full fee payer of at least three students attending the college. The Tuition fee for the third child will be discounted by 25% and tuition fees for the fourth and subsequent children will be discounted by 50%. Any requests for Sibling Discounts are to be forwarded to the Finance Department for assessment.

Endowment

Effective from 2008, it is a condition of entry into the College that each family pays to the College a once off endowment contribution of $800.00 prior to the first child in the family entering the College. Components of the contribution are directed towards a range of programs. These programs include the maintaining and upgrading of College buildings, facilities, technological infrastructure, as well as debt servicing requirements.

This contribution is non refundable, except in the case where a student commences Senior School in Year 10, 11 or 12 and has no other siblings entering the College at a lower level. In this situation the family will be entitled to a pro rata refund of the endowment contribution when the child completes Year 12.

Pro rata refunds will be calculated as follows:
                Entry at Year 10:               25% refund at completion of Year 12.
                Entry at Year 11:               50% refund at completion of Year 12.
                Entry at Year 12:               75% refund at completion of Year 12.

Withdrawal of a Student
