Downlands College has partnered with a specialist provider Edstart, to make it easier for famlies to manage school fee payments. Edstart allows you to pay school fees in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Fees can be paid evenly across the school year,  by reducing your repayment amount by extending the overall cost over a longer timeframe. All families are required to set-up an Edstart account online at edstart.com.au/downlands. 


We also suggest that rural and remote families investigate eligibility for ICPA Education Allowances.
