Regulations
Fee Protection Scheme
The Board of Governors has in place a Fee Protection Scheme, which in the event of the death or terminal illness of either fee paying parent or legal guardian, provides for the payment of all fees for the remainder of the student’s education at Diocesan School for Girls. This covers the fees only and does not cover any incidental charges. Upon payment of the first term’s fees, new parents will qualify for the scheme. There is no separate premium as this is included in the fee structure. Parents must be under the age of 70 to qualify, if over 70, please contact the School Accountant to discuss options. The Fee Protection Scheme does not apply to International Students.
Payment of School Accounts
All fees are due for payment upon receipt of the invoice. No statement will be issued. Parents may be required to withdraw students whose fees have not been paid within the current term. Should the student be unable to attend school because of non-payment of fees, the School requires that you pay the outstanding balance plus the next term’s fees before the student can return to school. If a student is unable to attend school at the beginning of term for any reason, the fees are nevertheless due. The School cannot undertake to remit or refund fees, whether in lieu of notice or otherwise, on account of illness, quarantine or any cause whatsoever. Depending on the subjects and extra curricular activities taken, additional incidental charges are likely to be incurred. These are invoiced on a term by term basis if and when required. Details are available on the School intranet or from the Accounts department. Unpaid accounts will incur collection costs payable by the debtor.
Payment Options
Accounts can be paid by cheque or cash direct at the School Accounts Office or by mail. Credit Cards and EFTPOS are NOT available for payment of fees. Internet Banking is preferable. If using this method, please ensure the student name and number is stated. The School’s bank account no is 03-0195-0013812-00 / Westpac Bank / Newmarket Branch. Other payment options include ten (10) monthly equal payments by automatic payment starting February and finishing November or a lump sum at the beginning of each year. Please contact the School Accountant for further details. Please advise the accounts office by the end of term 4 each year should you wish to take one of these options.
Nominated Fee Payer
In cases where the parent or guardian has nominated another person as the person responsible for the payment of fees, then that other person will be responsible in addition to and not in substitution for the parent or guardian. Only one invoice will be sent out per student.
Notice of withdrawal
A minimum of one term’s notice must be given in writing to the Principal to withdraw a student from the School or one term’s fees shall be paid in lieu of notice, calculated from the date notice is given. Where notice is being given of intended withdrawal for the next academic year, such notice should be received by the School by the end of Term 3.
