FEES

The College is yet to finalise tuition fees and other charges for 2024.

Fee notices are issued towards the end of January for you to commence your payment plans.

 

PAM

The Parent Access Module (PAM) will become your key portal for ongoing communication with the College. This will be the place where you can upload and update crucial student information such as medical and dietary requirements (these are required prior to your son starting the school year). It will also be the place where you will provide permission for your son to attend excursions/camps etc. Should your son be absent from school you must use PAM to notify the College. Through PAM, you will also be able to monitor your son’s academic progress and contact his teachers. Your PAM login details will be emailed to you before your son commences school.

Yours sincerely,

Steven O’Connor
