Financial
Information 2007 The Charter of the Christian Brothers recognises its many connections with families, other school communities and Church, civic and global communities. Christian Brothers College will continue to maintain the tradition of offering families a competitive low fee structure for 2007. Key features include:
To keep this low fee structure in place, we depend upon reliable and prompt payment of fees from all parents, according to the fee payment option you would have chosen. We look forward to another happy and successful year in 2007. Enrolment
Fee (and Enrolment Deposit)
A non-refundable fee of $20 is payable by families for each new student enrolment. This fee is payable upon acceptance of the enrolment offer. For enrolments accepted in the year before the student starts, a non-refundable deposit of $100 for the coming year's Tuition Fee is payable. Appropriate variations to these requirements can be made should there be financial hardship or other difficulty. Tuition
Fees Annual Fee or Monthly Fee add Building Fund Donation (February to October) per Family
Families in Financial Difficulty A request for a fee concession because of financial difficulty must be addressed to the Business Manager of the College. On receipt of the completed Application for Reduction in School Fees (2007) form, an assessment will be made as to eligibility and an interview will be arranged to enable a confidential and considerate assessment of the situation. If you require assistance in completing this form, please contact the College and make an appointment with a member of the Finance team in the first two weeks of Term 1, 2007. Sibling
Discounts A reduction in tuition fees is given for each CBC student where brothers or sisters are enrolled at any Catholic primary or secondary school in South Australia. In this way all Catholic schools are regarded as “partner” schools to CBC. The discount is applied according to the following scale:
Donation
to the Christian Brothers College Building Fund The College Board asks that each family donate $450 per year to the Building Fund. A convenient way of making this donation is to add $150 to your term fees or $50 to the monthly fee's. This donation is fully tax deductible and is a very important part of CBC's funding of its loans. Donations are currently used to finance the loans that supported the development of the Stage 2 & 3 projects at the College. Book
Hire & Book List The annual
Book Hire fee in the Senior School is $200.00. The
Book Hire Fee represents a non-refundable cost for the hire
of text books. Lost or unreasonably damaged books will be charged
for at replacement cost. It is essential that this fee is paid
before students can be issued with their text books. The fee
is payable in November for the following year. Payments
made after this date may cause delays in the issuing of text
books. The annual
Book List fee in the Junior School varies according to the choices
of materials by individual students. Parents are contacted,
direct by the Junior School, for these payment arrangements.
The School Annual of $25 per student is applicable for both the Senior School and Junior School. Approved School Card families will have their fee accounts credited in 2007 by the value of the School Card payment received by the College. Camps,
Excursions and Outdoor Education Camp and excursion costs are included in the all inclusive school fees. Optional camps and excursions costs are billed separately. Advance
Payment of Tuition Fees If the entire annual Tuition fees are paid in full by 18th February, there is a 5% discount available. This is in recognition of the assistance advance payments give to the College's cash flow. This discount is unavailable for fees already receiving significant discounts, other than Sibling Discounts. Advance payments of any amount towards future fees can be accepted at any time. Each family has a personalised account which would remain in (refundable) credit until such time as future fees were debited. Term in Advance Fees paid term in advance (due by 17th February, 19th May and 18th August) attract a 3% discount. This discount is unavailable for fees already receiving significant discounts, other than Sibling Discounts. Scholarships
There is one 5 year 100% scholarship, the Old Collegians' Scholarship. In addition, there are nine other scholarships granted by the College: Three each at 75%, 50% and 25% for five years. Application for these scholarships is open to all Year 8 applicants. A scholarship exam will be held in conjunction with the Placement Test on a Saturday in March each year for the following years intake. Application forms, at no cost, are now available from the Enrolment Registrar, Mrs Ann Coughlin by calling 8400 4210. Uniform
Shop The College uniform and sports uniform are available from the School Uniform Shop. The shop is situated at 227 Flinders Street beside the entrance to the CBC Sports Centre Car Park. During term time the shop is open on Mondays 8:30am to 4.00pm and Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Payment facilities including credit card are available. For further information contact the manager Mrs Claire Summerton on 8400 4249 or 8400 4200, or visit the Uniform Shop Web Page School
Card Remissions All school card families must complete an Application for Reduction in School Fees form and a School Card Application form. Once approved by the School Card Section of the State Government, CBC will grant a 50% reduction in school fees. This reduction is inclusive of all other discounts. 'Near Miss School Card' Families Families who apply and miss out on qualifying for school card will be assisted by the College on an individual basis. Payment
Arrangements Tuition Fees are billed by term in advance (Term 1, 2 and 3). Your account will be sent out in 3 instalments – January (Term 1), April (Term 2) and July (Term 3). Term 1 Fee Account (January) for your son(s) includes your Tuition Fee for Term 1 and School Annual. Term 2 Fee Account (April) for your son(s) includes your Tuition Fee for Term 2. Term 3 Fee Account (July) for your son(s) includes your Tuition Fee for Term 3 and Bookhire (Senior School only) for the following year. The maximum amount of discount a family can receive is the greater of the Scholarship, School Card or Sibling Discount. For example, the maximum amount of discount an Approved School Card family (inclusive of sibling discount) can receive is 50%. Payment Due Dates are as follows: Annual Fee Option – a 5% discount applies if paid in full by 18th February. Term Fee Option – a 3% discount applies if paid in full by 17th February (Term 1), 19th May (Term 2) and 18th August (Term 3). Monthly Fee Option – monthly instalments are due by the 20th of each month commencing in February and concluding in October. Payment options include:
The College relies on prompt payment of all school fees to manage its own cash flow. In the event that an account falls into arrears and no genuine attempt is made by the family to rectify the situation, Christian Brothers College reserves the right to forward the account to a Debt Collection Agent. All costs associated with this action will be borne by the family. The College Finance Office hours: School Term – 8.30 am – 4.30 pm School Holidays (Term 1, 2 & 3) – 9.00 am – 4.00 pm Christmas Holidays (Term 4) – 9.00 am – 4.00 pm (Please note that the office is closed from the week before Christmas and reopens mid January).Further
