Tuition Information
2009 Tuition Fees
Funding for St John’s Lutheran School is derived from three main sources: the Commonwealth Government; the State Government; Tuition Fees. The funding given to independent schools is considerably less than that given to state schools - therefore the charging of tuition fees is necessary.
Geelong Lutheran College Council aims to keep tuition fees to a minimum without sacrificing quality, and to make an education at our School accessible to anyone who desires it. This is only possible if all families meet their commitment. However, Christian love and understanding is always used in cases where difficult circumstances arise and alternative arrangements for payment can be considered.
A non-refundable application fee of $50 per student shall be payable on the lodgement of College enrolment forms. This fee is to cover administration costs and is not deductible from future tuition fees. It does not guarantee a position at the College.
A voluntary building fund contribution of $50 per student per term is fully tax-deductible.
An enrolment deposit of $200 will be required for any student when accepting a position offered at the College. This amount is non-refundable should the position not be taken up. This fee will be deducted from the first term tuition fee account for students attending the College.

Books & Supplies
All requirements for students at each year level are purchased through the school at the commencement of each year. The school arranges competitive rates through a local stationery provider enabling teachers to plan class programs knowing that all students have the necessary items of similar format. Parents are advised in advance of the costs involved.
Camps & Excursions
Camps and excursions are kept to a reasonable and affordable cost. Parents are notified of camp costs as soon as practicable, with the amount owing being charged on the following term’s fee statement. An excursion levy is applied each year according to a student’s level at school to cover the cost of organized excursions and like activities.
Uniform
All students are required to wear the appropriate St John’s Lutheran School uniform to school each day and for excursions, sporting activities and functions. The wearing of the uniform is mandatory and it is expected that all students comply with the dress code at all times. In Terms 1 and 4, school hats are compulsory for all students when involved in outdoor activities. A sports uniform is required for all Physical Education and sporting activities.
