Early Payment Discount

The Capital Development Levy and Stationery charge are not subject to this discount and this discount does not apply to any fee remissions (e.g. Scholarship).
Scholarships

Accordingly, the College offers a range of Scholarships each year to ensure that circumstance does not inhibit promising students by restricting access to the innovative and well-resourced facilities available to students of Investigator College.
The specific range of scholarships on offer vary each year. For more information on Scholarships at Investigator, please visit our Scholarships page
Financial Assistance
Financial Assistance may be available for families in need.

Camps, Specialist Subjects and Other Costs
Where students avail themselves of camps, and activities that fall outside the standard curriculum included in the Tuition Fees schedule (e.g. Year 9 – 12 Specialist Subjects material expenses), additional levies may be charged.
As camps and specialised excursions form a valuable part of both the curriculum and student life in each year level at Investigator, families are encouraged to plan for these expenses on an annual basis.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program
Year 7 – 12 students will be required to participate in the BYOD program, which is designed to allow students to choose and bring to the learning environment one or several devices of their choice.
Further information on our BYOD program, including specifications for devices, can be found by visiting our BYOD Program page.
