Compulsory Fees and Levies
Program Fees
The intention of our Program Fees are to specifically fund costs incurred in the provision of curricular, co-curricular and faith & service based programs and activities that relate only to students in particular year levels. Some of the major elements of the Program Fees are the additional costs for the APS sports program (including specialist sports coaches), classroom technology requirements for year levels that are not yet required to provide a privately owned computer, excursion and incursion costs, faith & service based retreats, compulsory music programs, etc.
Capital Levy
The monies the College receives in relation to this levy are used to fund its annual capital expenditure requirements.
Annual capital expenditure requirements of the College include facilities improvements, acquisition of information technology infrastructure and hardware/computers, various grounds and maintenance equipment, vehicles, significant items of sports equipment, minor improvements to existing classrooms and facilities, etc.
Payroll Tax Levy
The removal of the Payroll Tax exemption by the State Government from 1 July 2024 continues to have a significant financial impact to the College and its operations. The College has determined that it will continue to apply a Payroll Tax Levy to each student to fund this additional cost.
Additional Levies and Charges
Additional levies and charges will apply in relation to students participating in our rowing and snow sports programs as well as those undertaking various non-compulsory activities such as musical instrumental lessons and group performances, musical instrument hire, artistic/creative arts performances, specialist sporting programs, camps, etc.
