Cosmos Primary School Fees Policy 2025-26

Rationale

The Cosmos Primary School Fee Policy is intended to ensure that the school can provide high-quality education and a supportive environment for all students. The Policy provides a clear guide to the collection and management of fees, thereby ensuring the financial sustainability of the school.

The rationale behind the policy is to allow for:

Transparency: By communicating the fees structure at the start of each academic year, we aim to provide clarity and avoid any potential misunderstandings. This is crucial for fostering trust and maintaining positive relationships with parents and guardians.
Financial Sustainability: The policy ensures the necessary funds are collected to maintain our facilities and infrastructure, pay our staff, and invest in the educational resources required to deliver a high-standard learning experience.
Equity: The policy is designed to be fair and consistent, making certain that all parents and guardians understand their obligations and have the necessary information to plan financially.

Policy:

The fee structure consists of tuition fees, admission fees, caution deposit, and other fees.
There will be a consistent increase (of approximately 10%) in tuition fees, admission fees, and caution deposit every academic year as decided by the School Management Board.
No concessions will be made for any fees (even if paid annually).
The school management board should aim to provide scholarships by allocating budgets when possible and/or raising funds.

Fees Structure for Cosmos Primary School

Tuition Fees:
- The tuition fee for each academic year will be communicated to parents/guardians at the beginning of the calendar year (January) for the upcoming academic year.
- All staff, including teaching, non-teaching staff and support at Cosmos Primary will be eligible for a 30% concession on the tuition fee.
- The tuition fee may be payable bi-monthly, term wise or annual.
- Tuition fees must be paid for the entire academic year (June to May), regardless of when a Transfer Certificate (TC) is issued.
- In the event that a student leaves the school before completing the academic year, and a TC is applied for during the mentioned period, it is mandatory to settle the tuition fees until May. Our academic year commences in June and spans 12 months.
- You have the option to either make this payment or have it deducted from the caution deposit. But this will only be accepted for the last bi-monthly payment
Admission Fees:
- An admission fee will be charged for new students joining Cosmos Primary School, and it is non-refundable.
- The admission fee will be communicated to parents/guardians during the admission process.
