ºÚÁÏÍø

ºÚÁÏÍø is open to the entry of all students irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, nationality, family structure, social class or status. Our strategic objective is to produce departing Girtonians who will make a positive contribution in the lives of others and in the community and who are capable of successfully pursuing careers across a wide range of disciplines. This will be achieved by providing a high-end service at a competitive price by industry standards.

The Girton Board is pleased to announce that it has recently approved the adoption of a new fee model for ºÚÁÏÍø, which will be implemented from the 2025 school year. The new model comprises two pivotal changes to Girton’s current fee system, which are outlined below.

Transition to a tiered fee structure

• Between 2025 and 2031, Girton will transition to a tiered structure where tuition fees increase incrementally for each year level, phasing out the current flat fee structure where a single amount is charged for all students in Junior School and a higher amount for those in Senior School.
• In 2025, the new fee structure will be initially implemented for students entering Preparatory and Year 7 (including current Year 6 students moving to the Senior School). It will be expanded to other year levels between 2026 and 2031, as detailed in the .
• All existing Girton Senior School students will remain on the current flat fee structure through to graduation, while all existing Junior School students will remain on the flat fee structure until they enter Year 7.

Introduction of fortnightly and monthly fee payment options

• From 2025, Girton will introduce the option to pay tuition fees fortnightly and monthly via direct debit, in addition to the current options of paying annually or in four instalments. This will enable families to pay smaller amounts more regularly.

Girton will retain all existing fee discounts. This includes the prompt payment discount of $1,000, which will be applied across all four payment options where fees have been paid by the relevant deadlines. In addition, families who choose to pay annually will continue to receive a further 2% discount where their accounts are paid in full by November of the year prior to tuition.
