At St Cuthbert’s, our fees reflect our unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional all-round education that prepares young women for future success.
Our fees for the following year are set by our Trust Board, thoughtfully balancing investing in outstanding teachers, innovative learning environments, and our unique Kahunui campus experience, while recognising the significant financial commitment our families make to their daughters’ education.
We offer a range of ways for families to pay fees, including monthly and termly payment options.
