School Fees for 2024
In 2024 we are introducing a fee process that now includes all costs except individual Class Excursions and major High School camps.
Attached below is the Fee Schedule for 2024 details as follows:
- One yearly invoice (replacing termly invoices). The invoice will include Tuition fees, High School levy, Music Tuition, Class Camps and the Working Bee levy.
- Fees are due two weeks before the start of the school year. If paying by term, fees are due one week before the start of term (for terms 2 - 4). This will assist us with planning for the year and each term.
Payment Options:
- For those able to and wanting to pay the annual fees in full, we will put 5% towards the High School Scholarship Fund and provide you with a Tax Deductible Receipt.
- If unable to pay the term’s fees by the due date please discuss payment Options with * Edstart.
*The school has partnered with Edstart, a leading education payment provider.
School fees can be spread evenly over the school year in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments, or extended over a longer period to reduce repayments. You can apply at any time of the year and complete an application here by visiting edstart.com.au/newcastlewaldorfschool
In 2021 we did not increase fees to help support families after the difficulties of 2020. The Fee increases have been below the education CPI in the past. We understand this is late in the year so we are allowing that term 1 will be a transition.
We appreciate your ongoing contribution and support.
