KAS is committed to making quality Christian education affordable to as many students as possible, and for many families, private school fees can be a significant investment. For this reason, we provide sibling discounts to assist families as well as employer subsidies, and a generous scholarship program is available to eligible students. To assist families in meeting the cost of education, a direct debit system is available which allows payments to be spread equally across the school year.

Family discounts are available for students who are Australian residents, and is applied to tuition fees only. The discount is calculated on the amount of tuition fees remaining after the application of any other discounts, subsidies and scholarships. Sibling discount applies to any family where two or more children are attending KAS or another Adventist Schools in North New South Wales.   Sibling discounts are calculated as follows:

A prompt payment discount of 5% on tuition fees is applied if the full term’s fees have been received at KAS by the advertised discount date. It is the responsibility of the fee-payer to ensure fees are received by the school by the discount deadline.

A discount of 10% on tuition fees will be applied if a fee-payer wishes to pay the annual fees upfront in the first term.

Detailed information on discounts and subsidies is available from the Bursar’s Office or by phoning 02 6562 7023.

KAS creates an annual fee statement at the beginning of the year to assist families with their budgeting.  This statement will show all anticipated charges for the year and provide a number of payment options.

Fee instalments can be made as follows:

• Option A: Fees are paid up-front for the year
• Option B: Fees are paid up-front for the term
• Option C: You may arrange weekly, fortnightly, or monthly direct debit payments

It is important that you notify the KAS office at the beginning of the year, before the first due date, of the payment option you intend to use.

Payment may be made by cash, cheque, direct debit and credit card.

Variation from a pre-arranged payment plan would need to be arranged with the Business Manager.

Further information on fee payment is available from the school office.

Recognising that some families experience short term financial hardship, KAS has limited funding available to assist families experiencing genuine difficulties.  We are dedicated to ensuring that financial hardship is not the primary reason for students being unable to attend or remain at KAS.  In cases of genuine extreme hardship, assistance in meeting fees may be available. Families wishing to make application for fee remission should arrange an interview with the principal.
