CONTRACT PAYMENT SCHEDULE 
 
All figures are in NZ$. 
 
1  Deposit ($500) 
 
A  Deposit  of  $500,  payable  at  the  time  of  signing  the  accommodation  contract.  This 
amount is payment in advance for fees from the resident’s Date of Arrival. (A resident who 
continues in residence from one contract to the next must sign the contract for each new 
residential period but is not required to pay a further deposit of $500.)

  A  Resident  Placement  Fee  of  $325  is  payable  once  the  resident  has  arrived  at  the 
College.    This  fee  is  paid  once  only  by  each  resident  (or  couple).    Subsequent 
accommodation  contracts  or  extensions to  this  agreement  have  no  Resident  Placement
