We may vary these Terms, for any reason, at any time and without notice. It is your responsibility to periodically check our website for changes. If you disagree with any part of these terms and conditions, please do not use this website or sign up for a membership.

School Membership

We offer three memberships durations (3, 6, or 12 months) as a one-off payment.

School memberships do not auto-renew at the end of their current term. Reminders will be sent to students to renew their enrolment before its expiry.

Please ensure you carefully review the School membership description and inclusions on our website before applying and contact us if you have any enquiries. If you choose incorrectly or change your mind, our standard terms and conditions apply.

Your email details will be entered into our secure database upon signing up for enrolment as a School member. If you prefer not to receive email updates, please unsubscribe from further communication.

Occasionally photos or video may be taken of the events for promotional work. Please advise at the time if you do not wish to be photographed or filmed.

We accept enrolment applications from adults 18 years of age and over.

Acceptance, rejection, and withdrawal by us

Your School membership application is subject to acceptance by Men's School. Men's School may in its absolute discretion refuse to accept your registration.

Fees and charges

All fees and charges identified in these Terms and all prices for course exams, products, and services include GST where applicable.

We may vary prices for memberships, enrolment, courses, products, and services from time to time without notice. Subject to these Terms, we will not increase the amount payable by you for the relevant memberships, subscriptions, courses, products, or services once we have accepted your application or order.
