Fee Schedule
Fees
School fees and levies are set by the Daramalan College Board. They are an annual charge divided for convenience into four Term payments. Annual fee increases can be expected and usually apply from Term 1.
Payments
Fees and levies are payable in advance or by instalment during term. The College has to meet regular payment of staff salaries as well as normal running costs. Fee statements show a due date which will be 14 days from the commencement of term. Please contact the Office and Fees Manager if you would like to negotiate alternative payment arrangements.
High School (Years 7-10 Fees and Levies)
Fees and levies in the High School are charged on a yearly basis and payable each term. If a student qualifies for a Year 10 Certificate then the full Year 10 fees are payable even if the student chooses to leave early, for example to take up an apprenticeship.
Senior College (Years 11-12 Fees and Levies)
Fees and levies in the Senior College are charged on a yearly basis and payable each term. If a student qualifies for a ACT Senior Secondary Certificate then Year 12 fees for the four terms are payable, even if the student leaves school early at any time prior to the end of the school year.
Bookhire
Textbooks are provided to students with the cost being included in the levy. The books, however, remain the property of the school and if lost or damaged must be replaced. The replacement cost of lost or damaged books will be invoiced. Overdue books will be charged an additional per book rate per week until returned or paid for.
Student Withdrawals
Parents of students who are not entitled to either a Year 10 or ACT Senior Secondary Certificate are expected to give one month’s notice in writing to the Principal if they intend to withdraw students from the school, otherwise a full term’s fees will be charged.

Parents and Friends Levy
A $25.00 Parents and Friends Levy is charged to each family per Term. This is a compulsory charge as part of the College’s fee structure. Funds raised from this charge are provided to the Parents and Friends Committee, who in turn purchase items for the College. No other functions or fundraisers are held by the P & F.
Building Fund
An optional tax deductible donation to the Building Fund appears on the fee invoice. This is a necessary part of the overall revenue required for the development of the College. The Building Fund donation is $190 per family per term.
Default & Consequences of Default
Fees and levies unpaid as at the due date are subject to an administration fee of $15.00 (including GST) will be debited to all family accounts not paid before the due date (which is usually 14 days after the beginning of each term). A further administrative fee of $15 will be made each fortnight until the account is paid.
If the College agrees to a progress payment towards the term’s fees and those fees are being paid by direct debit, this charge will not apply. The administration fee is to defray the additional costs incurred through late payment. If the Parent defaults in payment of any invoice when due, the parent shall indemnify Daramalan College from and against all Daramalan College’s costs and disbursements including without limitation legal fees on a solicitor and own client or indemnity basis, whichever is higher, and in addition all of Daramalan College’s nominees costs of collection.
