The OSC Membership Fee can be refunded if your son does not commence at the School.

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.

Payment of Fees

Local Students

Annual Fees are charged in four quarterly instalments and must be paid one full quarter in advance. Billing of the quarterly instalments occurs in October, January, April, and July each year.

Accordingly, a student commencing in the Summer school term (February 2024) will be billed for their first quarterly instalment in October 2023.

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.

Remission of fees because of absence due to illness or any other cause will only be made in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the College.

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

One school term's notice in writing must be given to Admissions prior to the withdrawal of a student from the School. In default of such notice one quarter of the annual fee is payable. 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.
