Fee schedules are reviewed and approved annually by the governing body and published in advance of the forthcoming year. Fees may be subject to change, without notice, as a result of changes to Australian legislation and/or regulations. 

Payments 

The annual tuition and boarding fees are charged quarterly for Australian students (citizens or residents) and two times per year for International students. Year 12 students are billed across quarters 1, 2 and 3. 

Payments are accepted via credit card, debit card, BPAY and cheque. Cheques should be made out to ‘Somerville House’.

Somerville House offers a 10% tuition discount to the younger sibling(s) if there are two or more siblings attending Somerville House at the same time. Upon written application and approval a 10% tuition discount may apply for students who have siblings attending Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC), Clayfield College or Sunshine Coast Grammar School.

Voluntary Building Fund (VBF) contributions 

An opportunity to make a tax deductible VBF contribution of $200 per term is provided on every fee account. VBF contributions go to the Somerville House Foundation to support a capital project nominated by the School.

The Foundation will report on how VBF gifts are spent in their 2022 Impact Report.
