Enrolments and Fees

At Greenacre Christian College we want to make quality Christian education affordable and accessible to as many families as possible To support this, our fees are inclusive of all stationery (primary only), IT equipment, compulsory excursions and activities required for school work from Kindergarten right through to Year 12. This gives you certainty of the cost of your child’s education and assurance that they will have everything they need to thrive in their learning.

Tuition fees are set to reflect the actual cost of education throughout the various stages of schooling and sibling discounts are applied in order from oldest to youngest siblings enrolled at GCC according to the table below. No application is required to receive sibling discounts.

Rebates

Greenacre Christian College is committed to supporting families who are engaged in Christian ministry and those who are experiencing short-term financial difficulty by offering the rebates below. The combined total of any applicable sibling discounts and all approved rebates generally cannot exceed 50% of total undiscounted tuition fees.

The rebate application form can be downloaded here. Rebate applications for the following year are due on the last day of Term 4 of the prior year.

Ministry Rebate

Those engaged in vocational Christian ministry may be eligible for a Ministry Rebate if they have a financial need.

Financial Hardship

The College acknowledges that a family may experience unexpected short-term financial difficulty and will attempt to offer grace and understanding where there is difficulty in paying tuition fees. Parents are encouraged to contact the College before payment of fees becomes unmanageable. Where fees remain unpaid without explanation, accounts will be followed up as usual and may incur additional charges or impact enrolment.

Other Fees And Charges

Elective Subjects

The College does not charge subject levies for any elective subject offered directly by the College. Students electing to study certain subjects via external Distance Education and TAFE will be charged an additional fee that may or may not include a College-provided subsidy to offset a portion of the charge.

All tuition fees are invoiced annually at the start of the school year as four (4) separate termly invoices. Families may choose one of the following payment options:

1. Term-by-Term Payments (Default Option)
