Fee Billing

Fee Rebate and Discounts
An Early Payment Rebate of $400 will apply if the full year’s fees are paid in advance by the nominated date.

| Eligible Student | Annual Discount |
|---|---|

| Third son attending | $1,400 |
| Fourth son attending | $3,600 |
Student Tablet Computers
The provision of the College tablet computer is conditional upon an agreement to pay the College fees account either in full at the start of the year or by one of the instalment payment arrangements commencing at the beginning of the school year.
Students are responsible for the care of their own tablet, which must be treated as a valuable and fragile possession. Students must not alter the configuration of the operating system and software or install unauthorised software on College provided tablets. If a tablet needs to be repaired because a student ignores this requirement, a $35 service fee will be levied.
Where damage/theft is caused as a result of an accident in which responsible care has been shown by the student involved, the cost of repair in most cases will be covered by insurance. Should damage occur as a result of careless or irresponsible usage/behaviour, it may result in the need for payment of repair costs.
Parents and guardians can obtain insurance information from the Service Centre Supervisor.
Parents agree to pay the insurance excess, normally $250, or in the event of a rejected claim, the total cost of repair of the tablet.
Parents and guardians should refer to the Terms and Conditions of borrowing a tablet computer for any additional information.
Camps and Outdoor Learning
Camps / Outdoor Learning Program (OLP)
The OLP and Kairos camps are regarded as part of the normal curriculum for students in the applicable year levels. These costs are built into the on-going curriculum expenses of the College. There is no refund if a student does not attend an OLP camp.
Non-compulsory Camps / Trips
The College offers some co-curricular activities in which participation is purely voluntary. Parents will be made aware of any cost at the time the activities are offered. Examples include ski camps, overseas and interstate trips.
The students of any families receiving fee assistance or having arrears of the current school fee account will not be permitted to participate in any non-compulsory camps or trips.
Uniform
All Whitefriars students are expected to wear the College uniform, with slight variations to elements for Middle Years and Senior Years students, in both summer and winter.

Uniform Exchange
Second-hand items in good condition are offered for sale in the Uniform Exchange. The Uniform Exchange operates on Tuesdays, 12.30pm – 2.00pm. For more information regarding the Exchange, please contact the College directly.
Book Supplies
The College strongly recommends that parents and guardians lodge book lists with our official bookseller, Campion Education. Some of our set textbooks are not used in other Victorian schools and other suppliers will not necessarily have stock. Campion Education also gives book list customers priority over people who shop around for their books.
Parents and guardians who choose to collect their order at the College will receive a letter advising them of the price of the order and the collection date and time.
Campion Education assures us that any book list order completed by the nominated date will be ready for collection in January or delivered to your address. We urge parents and guardians to return book lists or order online by this date as there is no guarantee of supply for book lists submitted late.
Holding Fee
On the occasion where a student’s parents suspend their son’s enrolment for an extended period of time, for example one term or longer, a holding fee equal to the re-enrolment fee will be charged for that period. This holding fee is a guarantee of a place being open for a student to return after the extended absence.
Student Departure
For students leaving the College other than at the end of Year 12, the parent or guardian should notify the Principal in writing giving one term’s notice of intention to withdraw the student from the College. In lieu thereof, one term’s fees shall normally be payable.
