First understand: one year’s tuition, fixed fees and the upfront payments are not the same thing
The "fixed fee during the year" in this guide is the public tuition for one child, plus resource, technology, capital or course levy that the school explicitly lists as mandatory. Family levy is listed solely as "per family" and is not disguised as a per-child cost.
"First-time non-refundable fees" include application, acceptance, confirmation, membership and other amounts that are explicitly non-refundable by the school. Advance payments and refundable deposits that can be used to offset tuition fees will still occupy cash, but will not be counted twice as net costs.
Not all families will receive the conditional discount, so the public list price is used for the overview. Uniforms, school buses, private music, optional travel, unselected senior subjects and undisclosed amounts are not added to the total.
Complete Table of Contents and Evidence Boundaries
Inclusion is based on Open school data from Queensland Non-State Schools Directory: Secondary only and Primary and secondary, Special assistance = No fee-paying entities in the City of Gold Coast.
Hillcrest's Reedy Creek main school and Coolangatta associated facility are not billed repeatedly; King's Pimpama and Reedy Creek use different fee schedules and are listed separately; Silkwood's Mount Nathan / Robina use the same fee schedule and are merged. Special assistance schools are explained later and are not comparable in price to regular private schools.
24 entities = 24 school entries. No readable 2026 number does not equal free.

Hillcrest Christian College · Reedy Creek
The school's official website points to the 2026 fee schedule, but this public entrance is presented using Issuu, and the secondary numbers cannot be read independently in the final verification session. This guide therefore retains schools and does not fill in unproven amounts for Years 7–12.
It is known that the enrolment cash comes from the school's fee entrance: application $100 + first-child enrolment $600, marked as non-refundable; the school still needs to provide the complete 2026 domestic schedule before payment. Do not mistake the fee schedule for the Victorian Hillcrest Christian College of the same name.

The school says the listed price includes tuition and consumables, with no additional building levy; uniforms and private bus are extra.

St Michael's College · Merrimac
School Fees Portal This time we did not obtain the publicly available 2026 domestic schedule, so we do not write a guess amount. The school remains a Year 7–12 regular non-government school on the official catalog and must remain.
Request in writing from the Admissions/Finance Department: tuition for each grade level, family capital/P&F, resources/technology, compulsory camp, application/confirmation fees, refund conditions, and senior subject levy. Quotations received must indicate 2026 domestic, child's grade level, and school district.
The Industry School · Gold Coast / Robina
Official school source publicly introduces Gold Coast’s Year 10–12 practice path, but the school’s own 2026 domestic tuition schedule was not found this time. No disclosed amount does not mean it is free, nor does it mean it is applicable to all students.
Confirm in writing before enrolling: eligibility, whether there are fees, registration/materials/VET/equipment/uniform/transport costs, government funding coverage, withdrawal conditions, and whether the course meets your child’s Year 10–12 goals.
The Southport School · Southport (boys school)
TSS Fees page provides the Domestic Fee Schedule entrance, but this jump requires Microsoft sign-in, and the 2026 Year 7–12 numbers cannot be publicly verified. This guide does not replace domestic day-student fees with international or boarding tables.
When requesting, the school is required to list tuition, compulsory levy, device, camp, application/confirmation, Old Boys membership, notice period, and differentiate between day student and boarding.
Trinity Lutheran College · Ashmore
Trinity Lutheran Fees page expressly states that the Fees Notice will be updated annually; this download entry jumps to a restricted file service and does not obtain publicly verifiable 2026 Year 7–12 numbers.
Please provide the school with the 2026 Domestic Fees Notice, and specify tuition, family levy, resource/device, camp, application/enrolment, deposit, refund conditions and payment discount. When there is no readable table, old year figures are not used.
Why are special assistance schools listed separately?
The NSSAB catalog also has Gold Coast locations with Special assistance school = Yes: Arcadia College, Indie School Logan's Southport facility, Men of Business Academy, Southport Flexible School, The BUSY School, Mastery Schools Australia and Toogoolawa School.
These schools may serve different audiences, admission qualifications, course pathways, and funding methods, and their prices cannot be simply compared with those of ordinary P–12/secondary schools. They are not omitted; they are simply placed in the suitability statement rather than mixed into the list of 24 regular fee entities.
The Village School Gold Coast does not appear in this NSSAB's Open + secondary/P–12 CSV results, so the old 2025 fee page does not enter the 2026 secondary school comparison.
