Fees & Enrolments

As you will see from the headings on the left hand side of this page we have two separate sections for our fees. One is for local students and the other for overseas students. All fees are quoted in Australian dollars.

Our fees cover all tuition, equipment, stock and facilities required to complete the productions (within the requirements of the curriculum). Students are not required to purchase any books specifically for their training programme as a workbook is provided.

There are a few additional costs which are listed below.

• You will need a stills camera in the first year if you are interested in cinematography or you wish to participate in the photography projects. Students interested in cinematography will need an SLR 35mm photographic camera whilst other students may use a digital camera with manual controls. Film and processing for up to 10 stills photography assignments will be required.
• Each production has a production budget for administrative expenses and art direction. In the first year each student contributes the sum of $35 for productions 1 - 7 ($245). In the second year a one off sum of $500 is paid by each student which is put in to a special students' bank account which is used for P8 productions. This contribution, together with any money raised through fund raising is divided equally between all the major P8 productions.
• All personal stationery requirements.
• Practice camera tape and sound tape for individual exercise purposes.
• Transport costs to and from production locations.
• Share of catering costs whilst on locations in any crew position (around $7-10 a day on 1st year productions and $10-$15 a day on 2nd year productions).
• If remote locations are selected by the production crew for second year productions, students will be required to cover their accommodation costs.
• A home video camera and a laptop computer would be very useful but are optional.
