Annual Increases
Each year a College Board needs to increase tuition fees in accordance with inflation and the cost of living. Normally the fees would increase by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which averages at 3.5%. This has not always happened at CQCC meaning that our current fees do not accurately represent the value of education being received. To remedy this, fees will increase by 5% per year plus CPI until the annual fee is $3,000 per student. From 2013, new enrolments will be charged $2,700 for Primary and $3,000 for Secondary.
Charges Eligible for the Education Rebate:
Textbook Hire for Secondary
• Where a textbook is required for a subject, the school will purchase the book and hire it to parents.
• Hire will be the cost price of the book divided by the life expectancy of the book (e.g. 2 years).
• This will only apply to some Secondary subjects (e.g. Maths)
The State Government provides a Textbook Allowance for Secondary students through the College. The College will credit each family’s account when the allowance is received.
Workbook Purchases
• If a workbook is required for a subject, the cost will be billed to parents.
• While some workbooks are found on the book list, others have been provided in-class from the tuition fees. Now they will be invoiced separately.
Material Costs
• Material Costs $70 per year or $5 per month (for 10 months Feb-Nov).
• This charge is for paper based learning material and stationery.
• Teachers will regularly photocopy learning material or worksheets for students.
• This charge will also cover the essential computer printouts a student might need to make to fulfil assessment requirements. General printing from the computer will need to be paid for separately.
contributions through the National Secondary Schools Computer Fund.
Mathletics Subscription $30 per year or $3 per month *for 10 months Feb-Nov.
Last year we trialled the use of a new online resource for students in years 3-7 and found it to be an excellent assistance to students’ learning. For the trial, the College paid for each student’s registration.
Use of this resource shall continue in 2010, but from now on the subscription will be invoiced to parents.
Students are able to use this online service at home as well as at school.
Other Charges:
The following charges are not able to be claimed by the 50% Tax Education Rebate.
Excursions are charged as events arise. Payment may be made through the office or direct deposit via the internet. Swimming will be charged as one event to save handling money each week.
High School Camp $300 per year or $30 per month. Because this is a larger cost than other excursions we feel it best to invoice this amount at the beginning of the year and facilitate monthly payments. If the event ends up costing less than the $300 charged, a credit will be issued afterwards.
Year 10 & 12 Dinner $60 per head. This event will also be invoiced at the beginning of the year to facilitate monthly payments. It is assumed that each student will be attending with two parents, making the cost $60x3=$180 or $18 per month. Please let Kathy McCoombes know if this is not the case (kmccoombes@cqcc.org). If the event costs less than $60 per head, a credit will be issued afterwards.
Building Fund Donations
The College is a Christian Ministry that God has established to help raise a new generation of young people that will make a difference in the world. In our classrooms we see future leaders that will have positive Christian influence in business, government, the arts, media, education, families and the Church. Many more Christian families in Rockhampton are going to want to enrol their children at CQCC. Vacancies are being filled and waiting lists started. The Board envisions a Kindergarten being established, Distance Education commencing and other campuses opening up.
The College needs a regular flow of income into the Building Fund so that it can:
• pay all loans owed on the property,
• pay for improvements and maintenance to the property, and
• establish our financial ability to construct new buildings in the future.
Donations to the Building Fund are 100% tax deductible, giving money back at the end of financial year.
