Independent schools across the city are raising fees for 2023, with Kambala and SCEGGS Darlinghurst set to charge parents more than $45,000 for year 12.
Fees for some of Sydney’s top private schools have broken through the $45,000 mark, with all-girls institutions Kambala and SCEGGS Darlinghurst among the most expensive after lifting prices by at least five per cent.
Sydney private schools Kambala, SCEGGS Darlinghurst and The Scots College are the most expensive schools for 2023.“Fees are set to a level to meet operating expenses and contribute towards enhancing the experiences and facilities for students and staff. We will continue to make a priority the attraction, retention and development of the best staff possible,” van Onselen wrote.
Kambala also told parents it would hire Ron Ritchhart, a researcher from Harvard Graduate School of Education, to be the school’s “academic in residence” to work with teachers “over the next three years to ensure we deliver academic excellence to our girls”. “In the context of these inflationary challenges, we will be increasing our tuition fees by 4.0 per cent in 2023.”She said Ascham is also set to unveil plans this year for the “transformation of buildings and spaces across our campus to further enhance our girls’ opportunities to flourish”.
Parents with two children enrolled in schools that charge $40,000 a year would pay $1500 a week in school fees if the cost was spread over 52 weeks of the year. That same amount of money would be enough to service a $1.2 million mortgage.
