Pre-Kindy Fees

The Pre Kindy program is completely self-funded, as there are no government benefits that are available to support a Pre-Kindy Program. Hence no discounts are able to be applied, including no Health Care Card nor sibling discounts. Pre-Kindy fees are $70 per day. Students attending at the beginning of Term 1 will be charged $700 for a full Term (this is calculated on a 10 week term only). When there is a Pupil Free day or public holiday falling on the Pre-Kindy day, there will be no charge. Families will be invoiced at the start of the year for Terms 1 - 4. When the opportunity for extra sessions to commence, families will be invoiced as they commence the extra sessions during the year. 10 weeks notice will be required if you are withdrawing your child from this program and fees will be applicable for this period.
