What are the fees?

Newhaven College’s fees are less than a third of comparable Melbourne Independent schools. Fees are inclusive of academic tuition, camps and excursions. For current tuition and bus fees, please contact Belinda Manning at 5956 7505 (option 1) or email belinda.manning@newhavencol.vic.edu.au

Do I pay extra for camps and excursions?

All our compulsory school camps and excursions are related to the curriculum and thus are inclusive in the fee structure. From time to time there are optional events such as a music camp, overseas trips and tours, World Challenge and the like which are not compulsory. These events are self-funded.
