FEES & CHARGES

Coffs Harbour Christian Community School (CHCCS) aims to maintain our fees at the lowest possible levels to enable all families to access our quality education. However, such an approach necessitates school fees are paid on time by parents/ guardians so that the school can provide all that it does.

Families experiencing hardship are encouraged to contact the Principal to discuss their personal situation directly. While every effort is made to keep school fees and charges to a minimum, annual reviews of these are required in consideration of the annual increases to costs in operations.

UNIFORM

The school uniform is a standardised dress code that provides a functional, well-dressed appearance for all students. This prevents potential issues of perception that may arise between students from higher and lower socio-economic groups who may not be able to attain the ever changing vagaries of money-driven fashion.

To the right you can find helpful resources such as pricing, uniform shop opening hours, and samples.

You can make appointments for U Week 2025 for both campuses via one of the following options.

Option 1: Going to the School Interviews Website at https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au,clicking on the Make a Booking button at the top right and entering the event code fudsv.
