Overview #
Families who wish to temporarily withdraw their children from College for a period of greater than one term and up to twelve months will be required to pay nominal College fees during the absence to ensure their place in the College is maintained.
Policy Statements #
Accordingly:
- Families affected by this policy shall be required to pay 10% of the normal College fees (or other amount as authorised by the Finance Manger)
- Families affected by this policy shall be advised of this policy by the Finance Manager (or delegate).
- Families may voluntarily choose to pay up to the full fee.
- In the case of shorter absences, that is, periods of less than one term, the full fee applies.
- The Finance Manager works with the Enrolments Officer in reaching decisions about holding fee arrangements. If uncertainty exists about the intentions or status of an absent family, inquiries are made of the family with a view to considering whether or not a place is able to be held.
- If waiting lists apply in particular year or roll groups, the family is notified that a holding fee arrangement may not be available.
