Pilgrim School is a Uniting Church school and fees are set at a level to enable all families to consider a Christian based education for their children. The School Board aims to maintain fees as low as possible without compromising student learning. Student fees, along with Government funding and Campus involvement, enable Pilgrim School to provide challenging and engaging learning programmes in a supportive educational environment.
School fees include camp fees (except Year 6 and 7 Canberra Trip), excursions, Campus levy and booklist costs (with the exception of additional student stationery purchases from the Front Office during the year).
Fees are payable in the first two weeks of term and may be paid by BPay, credit card, cheque or cash. Fees may be paid on a fortnightly basis in consultation with the Finance Officer.
The School Board has set fees for 2018 as follows:
A $50 non-refundable application fee is charged for the first child only when submitting an enrolment form,
