Joining the Yallingup Steiner School is a commitment to the wellbeing and good of our school. Reliable income from fees is an essential part of this. Fees and charges are invoiced at the beginning of each year or upon enrolment, and statements are issued week 4 of each term. In order to register a child for enrolment, an application fee of $90.00 per child must accompany the application form. This fee is non-refundable and covers administration costs.  Any new families entering the school will be required to pay an Establishment Fee of $715.00, on the acceptance of a place for the first child.  This fee is non-refundable and is used for capital improvements.

Fees paid in full annually by January 20th 2017, will receive a further 5% discount.

Annual Fees due Friday 27th January 2017

All 2017 school fees will all be raised as annual invoices, with a statement issued week five of each term. Please note fees will no longer be invoiced per term. Families not able to pay their annual invoice in full will need to sign a payment arrangement in writing agreed with the Business Manager.
