We value our partnership with you and your child’s enrolment here at Oxley, and recognise that from time-to-time students move out of the area, or enrol in other schools for a variety of reasons. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you about our policy regarding fees in lieu of notice, which is an important aspect of our school’s administrative procedures.

What are Fees in Lieu of Notice?

The fees in lieu of notice policy requires parents to provide a written notice at least one full term in advance if they intend to withdraw their child from the school. If the required notice is not given, parents are liable to pay a term’s fees in lieu of notice. This policy ensures that the school can effectively manage resources and maintain stability for all students.

Key Points of the Policy

Notice Period: A written notice must be submitted at least one full term before the intended withdrawal date. This notice should include your child’s name, current class, and the last day of attendance.

• Fees in Lieu of Notice: If the required notice is not provided, parents will be charged a term’s fees. This fee is necessary to cover the costs associated with the sudden withdrawal and to ensure that the school can continue to provide high-quality education to all students.

• Submission of Notice: Notices should be addressed to the Head of College and submitted via email to office@oxley.nsw.edu.au. Please ensure that all relevant details are included to avoid any delays in processing.

Things to avoid:

• Advising a teacher in passing that you may be leaving is not an official withdrawal and may not be relayed to the Head of College or Registrar, so please follow the above process.
  
• If you are experiencing a problem or concern that you feel has not been satisfactorily resolved, please ensure you bring this to the attention of the Head of College. This allows us to review our practises, address any problems that have arisen, and troubleshoot and work together with your family for the best outcome for your child.
  
• You can do this by contacting the Head of College via office@oxley.nsw.edu.au or using the Feedback form located on the Website and App.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy. It helps us maintain a stable and supportive learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We aim to release the 2025 fee schedule to you before the start of Term 4. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.
