Instrumental, Voice and Speech and Drama Lessons
The school has a number of peripatetic teachers who teach instrumental, voice, and speech and drama lessons. Children who wish to participate in these lessons are charged a fee by those teachers. These lessons are undertaken as an agreement between the parents and the teacher concerned and are not part of the school’s curriculum. Payment for these lessons must be paid directly to the teacher concerned. Please do not put payment for these fees in the locked boxes as this may result in an overdue fee letter coming to you from the peripatetic teachers. Please make arrangements to pay these teachers in person by means of cheque, money order, EFT or direct debits.
If cash is sent to school it must be handed to the child’s peripatetic teacher. An administration fee of $5 is charged by the school, for each child for each instrument etc. This fee will be charged to your account and invoices will be sent home.

A School Fees Brochure was sent home at the end of 2018 notifying parents of the Fee Schedule and the relevant due dates for Tuition Fees.
