The Principal may take the families' ability to pay fees into account and parents/carers in this situation should discuss this with the Principal during the interview process.
Scholarship values vary from 15% to 50% of the annual tuition fees and offer remission on these fees for a period of up to 3 years provided the student adheres to the scholarship conditions. These scholarships provide the means to develop a well-rounded and talented student who might not otherwise have the chance to achieve their potential.
