Tuition and Boarding Fees
Fees include normal sport, physical education, laboratory, library and excursions up to Year 12 and compulsory camps up to and including Year 9.
For boarding students, accommodation, meals, laundry, ordinary mending and routine nursing attendance is included. Boarders will be charged an annual weekend recreation fee of $285 in the January billing. This charge is for all full-time boarding students and enables our Recreation Officer to plan weekend events for students, instead of paying for individual events.

International Students
A non-refundable registration fee of $300 (including GST) is charged upon lodging your Application for Registration. This fee is waived for children and grandchildren of Old Scotch Collegians.
Confirmation Fee
The Confirmation Fee is required to finalise your acceptance of the offer of a place. The fee includes a life membership to the Old Scotch Collegians (OSC) programme – our past student community; and a non-refundable, non-transferable Endowment Fee, which supports the development of new buildings and resources on campus. The OSC Membership Fee can be refunded if your son does not commence at the School.
Scotch College provides a 10% discount on the Confirmation Fee for boys entering Pre-Kindergarten, providing a commitment to continue at the College is made. If no commitment is made, one third of the Endowment Fee ($2,840) must be paid. For a boy continuing onto Pre-Primary the pre-paid fee is then deducted from the full Confirmation Fee.

Fee instalments are due and payable on the first day of each school term. A late fee of $150 will be charged on accounts not paid within 14 days of the due date. Any concessions will also be forfeited.
A student may not commence a new school term if the preceding quarterly instalment remains unpaid for 14 days before the next school term commences.
Parents have the option of paying the Annual Fee in advance with a 2.0% discount by Wednesday 30 October 2024. If selecting this option please advise us prior to the above date by email at fees@scotch.wa.edu.au.

Insurance
It is strongly recommended that parents check their health and general insurance policies to ensure they have adequate medical, personal property and liability insurance cover as the School cannot accept responsibility for medical expenses (including ambulance) arising from an accident or illness, loss or damage to personal effects and property, or liability incurred by students for bodily injury.
GST
There is no GST on tuition fees, music fees or the IT device levy. The boarding fee does not include GST. GST is included in the registration fee.

Boarding students are expected to remain as boarders for the full year, from Summer Term through to and including Spring Term. Parents wishing to change the status of a boarding student to day boy must give a school term's notice in writing to Admissions.
