After School Care

This service is provided by Camp Australia - details of the 2012 fees are available at www.campaustralia.com.au.

Fee Concessions

The following Fee Concessions are available but are conditional upon fees being paid in full by the due date.

• Bursaries for the daughters of members of the Anglican Clergy.
• Multiple enrolments: when two or more siblings attending St Margaret's at the same time, a concessional discount of 5% for the second, 10% for the third and 15% for any subsequent siblings will apply.

Payment Terms

It is the intention of the School Council to set fees once each year, however, the School reserves the right to revise fees at any time. The School charges fees per year and issues monthly Fees Statements.

Accounts must be paid per Semester as follows:

Semester 1 Fees and Levies are to be paid by 13 January 2012.

Semester 2 Fees and Levies are to be paid by 18 May 2012.

Bank charges incurred by the School for items such as returned cheques and foreign currency drafts will be invoiced on the next Fees Statement.

The School cannot provide education to students where fees remain unpaid. It is an enforced policy of the School that a student may not take their place at the School at the start of Term where fees for a previous Term remain unpaid.

Parents are also reminded that any fee concessions received are dependent upon the fees being paid by the due date. Concessions will be withdrawn if this condition is not met.

Refund Policy

The Enrolment Fee and Confirmation Fee are non-refundable. Tuition fees will be refunded in full if a VISA application is rejected (provided that written notification is received from the Australian Embassy) and/or if the course enrolled in is not offered.

Refunds, where applicable, will be made within 2 weeks (provider default) or 4 weeks (student default) of a written request if a course does not proceed.

This agreement does not remove the right to take further action under Australia’s consumer protection laws.

The registered provider’s dispute resolution processes do not circumscribe the student’s right to pursue other legal remedies.

Please note: Refunds will be made payable to the Parent/Legal Guardian. Refunds will only be made payable to the student when a written request is received from the parent/legal gyuardian authorising payment to the student.

Methods of Payment

• BPAY
• Cash
• Cheque (made payable to St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School)
• Credit card
• Telegraphic transfer

Notice of Withdrawal

Parents are reminded that they are required to provide ONE FULL TERM’S WRITTEN NOTICE to the Principal of a student’s withdrawal from the School or, in the absence of such notice, fees in lieu of notice will be charged. This condition also applies where a student is required to withdraw from non-payment of fees.
