  • There is a term fee payable for the Senior group children registered in the Friday additional day as this is outside the funded kindergarten program.
  • The $150 enrolment fee (payable when enrolling at the kindergarten) is offered as a refund once your child commences in the kinder program. There will be no refund if the child withdraws prior to commencement.
