Enrolment Application Processing Fee
A non-refundable application processing fee of $100 is payable to the College upon
submission of an Enrolment Application. The fee covers administration costs in processing
the application.

Enrolment Deposit Fee
When a place is offered in Prep – Year 12, *parents are required to pay an Enrolment
Deposit Fee of $500 for each newly enrolled child. This Enrolment Deposit Fee confirms the
place for the child at the College and is credited to the fees when they commence. If a child
fails to commence at the College, the fee is not refunded.

Discount

Armstrong Creek campuses.

Sibling discount is applied to the Annual Tuition Fees as follows:
Second child 10%, Third child 25%, Fourth child and subsequent children 50%. Sibling
discount is calculated on the Tuition Fees only.

Early Payment discount
Families wishing to pay their full year’s fees by 29 February 2020 will be eligible for a 3%
discount on Annual Tuition Fees.

Voluntary Building Fund
A Voluntary Tax Deductible Building Fund Donation is sought, of $50 per term ($200 per
year) per child.

The College has an ongoing building program as well as a structured building maintenance
schedule which requires the timely payment of fees and the additional contributions made
by parents via the Voluntary Building Fund.

A tax deductible Building Fund contribution is shown on parent statements, however, it
does not form part of the fees.

Building Fund Donations can be paid by including them in your calculations for payment of
your Annual Tuition Fees or by a Direct Debit each term.

The student’s ongoing enrolment at the College is conditional upon and subject to the
parents paying all fees and expenses determined by the College in relation to their
child/ren, including reimbursing the College for any fees or expenses incurred by or on
behalf of the child/ren.

Failure by the parent to pay any fees when due may result in the College, at its sole
discretion, refusing the student attendance at, or removing the student from the College or,
withholding the student’s academic report or testimonial, including preventing the student
from sitting exams.

Excursions, Incursions, Camps and Primary School Swimming
Lessons
Excursions, Incursions, Year Level Camps and Primary School Swimming Lessons, considered
part of the core curriculum, are covered within the Annual Tuition Fees. Costs for Camps for
elective subjects eg VCAL, Outdoor Education are included in the Elective Subject Levies (see
information following).
Elective Subject Levies
In 2020 the College will be offering elective subjects for students in Years 9 – 12. The core
curriculum resources for these electives will be covered within the tuition fees charged,
however as these subjects require additional consumable items or specialist activities
(outings and Camps), a separate levy needs to be applied to assist with the costs. The costs
shown below will be charged on the Terms 1 & 3 fees and will not be adjusted if a student
makes a subject change. Any change may incur an additional fee. Charges are as follows:

Prep to Year 8: No Elective Levies apply
Years 9 & 10:
$300 per semester for:
Outdoor Environments

$200 per semester for
Food Technology

$150 per Semester for
Materials Technology

$100 per semester for
Textiles, Visual Art, Jewellery Making, and Systems Technology

These charges will be added to the Terms 1 and 3 accounts.

VCE Electives (Years 11 & 12):
$300 per semester for
Outdoor Environments

$200 per semester for
Food Technology

$100 per semester for
Studio Arts (Students enrolled in Studio Arts may be required to source specialist materials
for their major project at their own expense if these items are not part of the Art
Department Stores)

These charges will be added to the Terms 1 and 3 accounts.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)
Costs for those choosing to do a VET course will be subsidised by the College. The cost for an
individual course will vary depending on the course chosen. Parents are asked to contribute
to half of the cost of the course plus any material costs each year.

This charge will be added to the Term 1 account
Bus Travel
Geelong Lutheran College Armstrong Creek currently operates eight bus services. This
service comes at a substantial cost and we operate a user pay system. Where families are
eligible for Conveyance Allowance for private bus travel (GLC buses), this will be directed to
the College to offset the cost of the bus fares.

The bus costs per student for 2020 are $1025 per annum for full time, $620 per annum for
part time users. A fee of $10 per trip for casual users will be charged for one-off trips only.
Casual travel is only by arrangement with the Bus Coordinator. If any travel is undertaken
on more than 1 occasion per week, a part-time annual fee will apply. Please note that bus
fees are charged to the Term 1 fee accounts.

Who is Responsible for Payment?
The parent/s who have signed the Enrolment Contract with the College are jointly and
severally liable for the student’s tuition fees and any other costs associated with the
student’s attendance at the College, unless a Court Order states differently. A copy of any
relevant Court Order or other documents stating amendments to the financial and/or
parental responsibility arrangements must be provided by the parent/s to the College. New
contracts may be necessary to adhere to court order directions.

Student Status
When parents have accepted a place at the College for a child who then does not
commence at the College, or if an enrolment is to be cancelled by the parents, they are
required to give the Principal at least 10 week’s notice in writing, from the last day of the
term immediately preceding the term in which the student was due to commence at the
College.

If the parents determine to remove the student from the College in any circumstances, the
parents will provide to the College, at least one full term’s notice of their intention to
remove the student from the College. This does not include partial weeks in subsequent
terms.
