The Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) Education Provider has announced the proposed school fee allocation for Selwyn Anglican College next year.

ACOM Education Secretary Desmond Waita said the Selwyn College Council has agreed to make minor adjustments to school fees for the next academic year, 2026.

The proposed fee charges for next year will see a 10 percent increase for Form 1 to 3, while Form 4 to 7 will see an increase of five percent.

Meanwhile, these financial implications and proposed fee adjustments will enable the school to cover rising operational costs due to inflation, improve maintenance and repair of facilities, support the rollout of the 2026 re-culturing initiative, strengthen welfare and discipline systems, invest in self-reliance projects that will enhance sustainability, and maintain a high standard of boarding and academic services.

Waita also announced that the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development (MEHRD) has officially approved a new contract template to be implemented in 2026, in alignment with the new Education Act.

“As a result, all current offer letters will become null and void.

“All teachers currently teaching in ACOM schools will be issued new offer letters effective from 2026,” Waita said.

The proposed school fees allocation for next year is as follows: Form 1- 3: $3,410; Form 4-5: $5.200; Form 6: $6,250; Form 7: $6,585.
