2021 Fees for Day and Boarding Students Rostrevor College continues to offer an affordable Catholic education in the Edmund Rice Tradition. In 2021, with the support of the College Board and Edmund Rice Education Australia, the College has determined the annual Tuition and Boarding Fees will be as detailed below. In determining the 2021 fees we have been mindful of keeping any necessary increases to a minimum and have made some adjustments across year levels to more accurately reflect the year level needs. For year 12 students our Tuition Fee now fully incorporates Graduation and Memorabilia student costs to enable all students to participate equitably.
Tuition Fee Boarding Fee (additional to
Tuition)
Reception $5,710 N/A Year 1 to 2 $5,820 N/A Year 3 to 4 $6,880 N/A Year 5 to 6 $7,995 N/A Year 7 to 8 $9,515 $18,510 Year 9 $11,980 $18,510 Year 10 to 11 $12,910 $18,510 Year 12 $13,440 $18,510
Boarding Fees are based on full-year attendance in Duggan House. Where arrangements for boarding are altered mid-year, it is expected the full year charge will be paid, unless otherwise negotiated with the Principal or Business Manager, as the College makes a commitment in regards to staff and utilisation of facilities for the full school year. A partial reduction for reduced catering charges may be provided, dependent upon the notice period provided to the College of the withdrawal from Duggan House.
The only additional costs charged to an account will relate to some specific programs. Please see Other Charges for further information.
Payment Options The College offers three payment options to assist families in paying their accounts on time. You will need to nominate your preferred fee payment option by Wednesday, 9th December 2020.
PLEASE NOTE: The notification of annual fees and charges serves as the initial advice of tuition fees and charges payable. Statements/tax invoices will be forwarded to families as instalments fall due and payable based on the selected payment option.
Option One Annual payment in full by Wednesday, 16th December 2020. This option includes a 3% Settlement Discount on the net Tuition Fee and Boarding Fee (where applicable) if paid by BPAY, EFT, Cash or Cheque. No discount applies if paying by Credit Card.
Option Two Three equal payments due on 15th February 2021, 15th May 2021 and 15th August 2021 as detailed on the notification of annual fees and charges.

Outstanding Fees Overdue accounts cause great difficulty for the College in meeting its financial obligations. Families experiencing difficulties in meeting fee payments are urged to contact the Business Manager to discuss alternative payment arrangements as soon as possible.
The College reserves the right, at its discretion, to:
• charge a late payment fee where an account is in default; • commence legal action for the recovery of fees not paid including placement of a charge over property to secure the debt. All legal costs
will become payable by the parents/caregivers; • refuse re-enrolment if fees are overdue.
Locker Locks The College provides combination locks for student lockers for students from Yrs. 6 – 12. Locks will be distributed to new students at the commencement of the school year, with pre-assigned combination codes. Students will retain the locks for their period of education at the College. A master key will be held to unlock the locks should a student forget their combination code, or if for some reason the lock needs to be removed. Each student will be required to pay a $10 deposit for the lock provided which will be fully refundable on return of the lock, in appropriate condition for re-use. The $10 deposit will be included on the family account for new students.
Other Charges The College provides an outstanding opportunity for Year 6 students to travel to Canberra for a cultural and historical excursion to our National capital. Families of Year 6 students will be invoiced a sum of $400 as contribution to the cost of this excursion. If there are difficulties in meeting this payment, please do not hesitate to contact the Assistant Principal - Learning & Wellbeing (Junior Years) or the College Business Manager to discuss your concerns.
Other charges may apply if students participate in voluntary programs such as Music, Sacramental, VET, interstate/overseas tours, Outdoor Education etc. These costs will be advised to parents at the time they occur. Where the costs are part of course curriculum, the amount charged will be invoiced to family accounts during each semester, as appropriate. These amounts will be added to balances due and will be payable within 30 days of invoicing or by other agreed arrangements. Where the program is not part of course curriculum, the amount will be charged separately and will not be added to the family fee account, except by special arrangement.
Students will not be eligible to participate in optional tours and excursions unless all fees are up to date as per the chosen fee payment option or there is an agreed fee payment arrangement in place which is being adhered to.
Rostrevor College Foundation (Tax Deductible) The Rostrevor College Foundation was established in 1987 for the purpose of raising money for capital development at the College and has helped finance many new buildings and refurbishments. The Rostrevor College Foundation has recently funded the new Agricultural and Environmental Centre. This is an example of the value of contributions to the Foundation Building Fund which directly enhance the learning experiences for current and future students. In 2021, the Foundation aims to support the redevelopment of Duggan House, to provide contemporary accommodation and facilities for boarding students.
In addition, the Foundation supports scholarships for students to assist families in providing a Rostrevor education for their sons.
There is an expectation that families voluntarily donate $500/annum, per family, while their son/s attend/s the College. If you require more information, please contact the College on 8364 8200.
Please note, to maintain the contribution as a tax-deductible contribution, the expected contribution to the Foundation is not included within the College fees and charges and is paid separately, directly to the Foundation.
Payment may be made by direct EFT payment as follows:
BUILDING FUND Contribution:
SCHOLARSHIP FUND Contribution:
Bank Commonwealth Commonwealth BSB 065-000 065-000 Account 12008190 12028343
Edmund Rice Foundation Australia The Edmund Rice Foundation Australia supports the work of the Christian Brothers throughout disadvantaged communities in Australia and overseas. Families are provided the opportunity to contribute $60/annum towards this cause, identified on the annual notification as an Opt-out contribution to the Edmund Rice Foundation. We encourage all families to consider making this valuable contribution.
Families who choose not to contribute to the Edmund Rice Foundation must elect to Opt-out by choosing this option when selecting their fee payment option. Families who do not elect to Opt-out will be invoiced for the Contribution of $60/annum. The Contribution as part of the fees invoices will not be tax deductible. Families may still choose to make a voluntary contribution to the Edmund Rice Foundation. Please contact the Finance Office for more information.
Rostrevor Old Collegians The Rostrevor Old Collegians Association (ROCA) exists to provide fellowship to former students and to support the College, especially in the provision of scholarships which are offered to the sons or grandsons of Old Collegians who may not otherwise be able to afford a Rostrevor education.
Each year the graduating Yr. 12 students are invited to secure a lifetime membership with ROCA, ensuring they retain a lifelong connection to the Rostrevor Community. The lifetime membership fee is currently $350, affording your son regular contact from the extensive ROCA network, including notification of reunions and significant College and ROCA events, as well as the biannual Rostrevor magazine. Proceeds from these lifetime memberships go towards funding the ROCA Scholarship program.
Families who choose not to take up the membership must elect to Opt-out by choosing this option when selecting their fee payment options.
If you require more information, please contact the College Development Office on 8364 8200 or [email protected] .
College Bus Tickets Tickets for College bus service can be purchased using the Qkr app (see the College website for further details) and can be collected from Student Services.
Enrolment Application Fee A non-refundable fee of $60 is payable upon submission of an Application for Enrolment.
Enrolment Deposit To accept a place at Rostrevor, a deposit of $500 is payable on receipt of an offer of a place at the College. The deposit will be credited against the commencing year’s Tuition Fees. Should families wish to withdraw the student’s enrolment, the Enrolment Deposit will be refunded less an Administration Fee of $300 if notification is received in writing more than two terms prior to the commencement date. Thereafter, no refund is made.
Withdrawal of a Student One term’s written notice is required when withdrawing from the College or from Boarding to become a day student. Notice of withdrawal of a student must be given in writing to the Principal. Verbal notification or notification to a staff member other than the Principal, is not considered due notice. Failure to provide the required notice will result in a pro-rata charge of the annual tuition and/or boarding fees.
Insurance The College has in place a limited personal accident and disability insurance policy to cover all students. It excludes all Medicare services including the Medicare Gap. Copies of the insurance policy are available from the Business Manager. Parents are advised to check their Health and General Insurance policies to ensure adequate medical, personal property and liability insurance cover. The College does not accept responsibility for any claim to property loss or damage incurred by students or parents.
Scholarships The College offers a range of Scholarships to recognise excellence in a range of fields and to assist families with meeting the costs of school fees. Details are available on the College website or from the Enrolment Office.
State Government Assistance (School Card) Rostrevor College encourages families who may be eligible for School Card concession to apply in January. The College will provide 40% concession on Tuition Fees to eligible families. School Card application forms are available from Main Reception in January and an application must be completed each year. Enquiries: https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/education-and-learning/financial-help-scholarships-and-grants/school-card-scheme
Fee support The College is able to provide some fee support for families who do not qualify for School Card entitlements but who may find it difficult to meet full fee commitments. Support may be via reduced fees and/or extended payment terms. Fee support is provided subject to provision of financial information and is subject to annual review. All fee arrangements remain confidential to the Principal and Finance Office.
Please contact the Finance Office for a Fee Support Application form or for further information.
