Carmichael College’s Mission and Vision identifies that the College is to conduct its relationships, programs and business dealings in a way that demonstrates Christian values and ethics. Parents are likewise accountable to the College for prompt and full payment of invoiced tuition fees according to the terms of enrolment.
Costs for all compulsory curriculum and class-based activities and excursions are included in the tuition fees. Optional extra-curricular activities will be charged separately where applicable and must be paid for prior to the event. The one-fee policy does not cover consumable items such as stationery, booklists or uniforms.
Due Dates
Tuition fees are due on the first day of each term unless a payment schedule has been commenced with Edstart. Tuition fee invoices will generally be issued 21 days prior to the commencement of the school term. If accounts are not paid by the due date, and a current payment plan has not been completed with Edstart, the account will be listed as overdue and placed under review by the Finance Committee.
Family Discount
The following reduction in tuition fees is applied when more than one student per family attends the College in Prep to Year 12:
2 Students – 10% reduction on tuition fees only
3 Students – 15% reduction on tuition fees only
4 Students – 25% reduction on tuition fees only
5 Students – 30% reduction on tuition fees only
6 Students – 40% reduction on tuition fees only
This discount is applied to each child in the family.
Early Payment Discount
An early payment discount of 5% off the tuition fees applies if the full year’s tuition fees are paid prior to the first day of the school year. If this due date is not met, the early payment discount will be reversed and the full tuition fees will apply.
Contacting Accounts
The preferred method of communication with the finance department is via email: accounts@carmichael.qld.edu.au.
Payment Method
Our preferred method of payment is BPAY or via a payment plan with Edstart.
Overdue Accounts
The College has a strict policy that accounts are to be kept current in order for the College to remain sustainable and affordable for everyone. You may want to consider implementing a regular payment plan with Edstart to spread the cost of your tuition fees and other charges over the course of the year. Failure to pay tuition fees may result in your child’s enrolment being cancelled. Communication with the finance department is vital if you experience a sudden or unexpected financial difficulty. All parents or care providers who have signed a Confirmation of Enrolment and/or Enrolment Contract are jointly and severally liable for the payment of tuition fees. The College reserves the right to add an overdue charge of 10% of the outstanding balance if accounts remain unpaid at the end of Term 4.
Notification of Withdrawal
Notification of withdrawal of enrolment from the College must be provided in writing (letter or email) giving one full term’s notice. Otherwise, tuition fees for the following term become due and payable.
Confirmation of Enrolment Fee
The Confirmation of Enrolment fee of $300 is payable immediately when the student enrolment position is confirmed. The paid Confirmation of Enrolment fee will be transferred to the student’s school fee account when the student commences at the College. The Confirmation of Enrolment fee is non-refundable if the student does not start at the College on the agreed starting date.
Remission of Fees
50% remission of tuition fees is available for students who are sick for a period longer than 4 weeks upon the presentation of a valid medical certificate. The 50% remission will be calculated pro-rata based on the number of weeks the student is absent.
Exclusion of Students
No remission of tuition fees, either in whole or in part, will be made should the student be absent for any other reason whatsoever, including circumstances where the student is suspended or expelled from the College.
Building Fund Contributions (Tax Deductible)
The suggested contribution is $250 per year per family. If you would like to make a donation, please contact the finance department for further information.
Instrumental Music
Individual tutors should be contacted to determine fees and payment requirements.
Instrumental Hire
Charges will be invoiced on a termly basis, and due dates are aligned with tuition Fees.
Excursions, Camps and Other Activities
Excursions and camps are beneficial learning activities and are encouraged. The cost of these activities is usually included in the tuition fees. Where the cost of an excursion, camp, or other activity is significant, an amount will be charged separately during the term in which the event occurs. Before implementing these activities, teachers are required to consider the interests of students and the cost impact upon families, and justify the need for them to College management.
The cost of these separate excursions, camps or extra-curricular activities must be paid in full prior to the event. Where tuition fees are outstanding, parents are expected to bring their account up to date before students will be permitted to attend the excursion or camp.
