School Fees 2021

Simple and Inclusive Fees...so there's no surprises. We believe that our school families want our fees to be easy to understand without surprises. At Avondale School you pay one service fee per family* and then one fee per child (inclusive of resources and technology) less any discounts. Our fees include tuition, compulsory excursions and camps, textbook hire, senior school electives and technology devices. This keeps it simple so you know what you are paying for up front without any surprises along the way.
