FAQs
How much do Victoria fees increase annually?
Typically 3-5% per year. All campuses adjust simultaneously at the same rate.
Can Lower Kornhill Nursery graduates transfer to other Victoria campuses?
Yes, but not guaranteed. Lower Kornhill Nursery graduates can apply to other Victoria campuses for K1 with priority consideration, but interviews are required.
Is K2 full-day worth it?
K2 full-day is designed primarily for primary school preparation, lasting approximately half a year. If targeting private/DSS primary schools, full-day provides more interview training and academic preparation time. At $184,000-$217,000/year, weigh carefully against your actual needs.
