FEES & DISCOUNTS
FEES
Each of our Musical Theatre performance programs run over two terms, full fees and discounts are viewable HERE.
A Costume Hire fee of $70 (inc. GST) will be added to your first term Invoice so the team can get your costumes ordered and ready for dress rehearsals.
We always endeavour to keep costume costs at a minimum, so some simple items (like black basics, undergarments, and shoes) will be supplied by students while the more complex costumes will be supplied by ROCKIT Productions.
DISCOUNT PACKAGES
We know that the cost of living is greatly affecting our community so we have introduced our 2024 DISCOUNT PACKAGE to help ease the load. Check it out HERE.
​
Basically, the more classes you add, the more you save!
​
PAYMENT PLANS
We do not expect fees to be paid in advance each term as these packages can really add up, so we offer a number of payment plan options with our direct debit partner PayAdvantage.
