Leighland Christian School provides a number of fee payment options. Fee policies exist to ensure Christian education is not outside the reach of families. Our Fee payment options include using electronic transfer arrangements via Direct Debit, BPAY, Centrepay, QKR or EFTPOS. Fee Discounts apply for parents who pay their full fees in advance each year. This incentive will attract a 5% discount if the entire year is paid before Term 1 commences.
Fee Assistance Options
If you are a low income family you are encouraged to apply for Fee Assistance. Parents in a recognised full time Christian Ministry role or who are on leave from the mission field can arrange for Fee Assistance under our discount fee structure. Low income families invited to discuss affordable fee options using our Fee Subsidy program with the Busines Manager, Mr. David Grey.
What do the fees include?
School fees are inclusive of all books and stationery and cover most other educational expenses except uniform, the occasional Home Ec items and some Year 11 & 12 subjects. This means there are no hidden education costs allowing parents to budget effectively.
Family discounts apply for the second and third child and there is no charge for the fourth child onwards. This keeps fees affordable for larger families. Costs associated with travel or interstate excursions are not automatically included in fees.
Levy Structure
Please see the revised lower fee structure which commenced in 2016. Sibling discounts apply for the second (50%), third (65%) and fourth child (100%). Please download the Fee Information Sheet for more detailed information on fees and your payment options.
