Redeemer Lutheran College
2010 Fees Notice
Financial Policies Relating to Fees
Enrolment Registration Fee
A non-refundable registration fee of $110
per student is payable to the college upon
submission of an Application for Enrolment.
Refundable Enrolment Deposit (RED)
When a place is offered, parents are
required to sign an Enrolment Agreement
and pay a Refundable Enrolment Deposit of
$500, which confirms the place for the
student. The enrolment deposit is payable
once only per family. The enrolment deposit
is refundable when the last student in the
family leaves the college, after all accounts
have been finalised, hire books, library
books and all college resources returned. No
interest is payable on this money.
The enrolment deposit will be forfeited if
the student’s enrolment is cancelled before
commencement at the college, or applied
against fees in lieu of notice if a student is
withdrawn without one term’s notice in
writing to the college.
The enrolment deposit must be paid prior to
the student commencing.
Payment of College Fees
College fees are due and payable for each
term on the dates set out on Page 4. If this
is not done and fees are not paid on time, a
fee may be charged to recover the related
administration costs.
College fees are effective from 1 January
2010 to 31 December 2010. The college
reserves the right to change the fee
schedule at any time.
The college may grant an extension of time
for payment only if there are exceptional
circumstances outside of the parents’ control.
A request for such an extension of time for
payment shall be made in writing to the
Business Manager.
The college reserves the right to withhold
college reports and/or Year 12 exit
certificates if fees remain unpaid at the end
of the term. The college may terminate the
enrolment of a student if fees remain
unpaid at the end of the period for which
the fees are due.

Bursaries
Bursaries offer partial remission of fees to

Christians and whose families can

Withdrawal of a Student
To ensure appropriate care and supervision
of our students, the college expects that
each student will be in residence with their
parents or legal guardians.
When a student is to be withdrawn from the
college or if an enrolment is to be cancelled,
parents are required to give the Principal
one term’s notice, in writing, before the
withdrawal or cancellation date.
However, if withdrawal is to be effective at
the end of the school year, written notice
must be given by the end of Term 3.
Parents who do not give such a period of
notice will be liable to pay the college an
amount equal to one term’s fees in lieu of
such notice.
