*** If you require the school to find home-stay accommodation there is a one-off placement fee which covers finding suitable accommodation and processing the police vetting forms for all the adults in the house over 18 years of age.
NB: Fees are subject to change.

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.

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.
