General Information

UNIFORM

Sancta Maria College students wear school uniform.  We ask parents, Designated Caregivers and Host Families to support the College by ensuring students have the correct uniform and help them take responsibility for their appearance by wearing the uniform correctly. These regulations apply when students are at school, representing the school or commuting to and from school.

FEES PROTECTION

Sancta Maria College has a Fee Protection policy to safeguard the fees paid by International Students,
in the unlikely event that the school may not be able to commence or continue to deliver tuition to the international student.

The school’s Board of Trustees guarantees to hold in reserve sufficient funds to meet the requirements of any refund in these circumstances.
