School Fee Information

Our vision has always been to offer affordable Christian schooling. We also recognise that parents and students expect a high level of facilities, staff, resources and technology, all of which contribute to the costs of education.

Cedar College strives to balance these costs with our vision of affordable education. The 2025 Fee Schedule is shown below and is also available for download. A number of fee payment options are available which can be arranged via a Direct Debit form if desired.

 

What’s included?

The 2025 Tuition Fees include the full year’s tuition expenses, as well as stationery, exercise books, excursions, camps, technology levy, Student Diary, Student ID Card (Year 7-12), Family Yearbook, and laptops for students in Years 7-12. While all school camp fees are included in the tuition fees, some activities (such as Inter-school sports events, private instrumental lessons, personal items for the Year 10 Bushwalking Camp and certain Senior School VET subjects) will have an associated cost not covered by tuition fees.

2025 Tuition

Discount for early payment

If the full year’s fees are paid by the due date for the Term 1 fees, an early payment discount of 4% applies to tuition fees and capital levy only.

Direct Debit payments, and online payments through FACTS, can be put in place in conjunction with our Finance Office. Download our Direct Debit form here.


Discount for multiple children

Our fee structure includes progressive discounts for multiple children from the same family attending Cedar College, with the fourth sibling being free.


When do School Card rates apply?

When a family has been assessed as eligible School Card holders by Centrelink and the Department of Education and Children’s Services, reduced tuition fees may apply. A separate School Card fee schedule and application form, are available from the Front Office for qualifying families.

Fees shown are valid for 2025 school year, and are subject to an increase for 2026 school year.
