Boarding fee concessions

You should use data from 2023 only throughout this section on boarding fee concessions. It is the most recent data on the pattern of boarding fee concessions for a full year. Remember to round all money amounts to the nearest dollar.

The over-arching goal is to provide more assistance to schools that are giving concessions for reasons of economic hardship, as well as providing compensation for loss of income incurred through non-collection of fees (bad debts).

Do not include concessions for other reasons. For example, schools may give concessions for church membership, for students who are children of staff members, or as sporting or academic scholarships. But do not include these here unless there is also economic hardship.

For those schools where the boarding students are attending another school, contact the NSSAB Secretariat for clarification when you are completing this section. They will help make a decision according to the agreement of fees and concessions administration.
