A $100 enrolment deposit is required to confirm each student's place in the 2027 program. The deposit forms part of the annual tuition fee and will be deducted from the total amount payable.

Lessons and Ensemble Requirement
50-minute lessons are given on a rotating withdrawal system. Students are withdrawn from their regular class at a different time each week so that they do not regularly miss the same class. We try and schedule lessons in spares for VCE students.
Students learning an instrument are required to participate in a weekly ensemble rehearsal in one of our College ensembles, such as the Year 7 Beginner Band.
Students learning Piano/Keyboard will be allocated to the Choir as their ensemble.

Hire/Purchase of Instruments
We offer a limited number of school owned instruments for students to hire at an additional cost of $350 per year. School instrument hire is subject to instrument availability, with Year 7 student hire requests prioritised first. For advice regarding the external hire/purchase of instruments, please contact your child's instrumental music teacher.
