Some Australian parents are forking out more than $40,000 annually to send their children to fancy private schools - some of which feature on and off-campus yoga studios, equestrian centres and heated pools.

And many of those elite private schools are set to raise their fees next year amid rising costs.

SCECGS Darlinghurst, a private school girl's school in Sydney's glitzy Eastern Suburbs, confirmed it will be hiking its annual fees to $42,000 in 2022, following a recent board meeting.

It was decided extra counsellors were required at the private school - whose alumni include actor Claudia Karvan and PR maven Roxy Jacenko - due to a spike in anxiety rates among students following the Covid pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.

The fees for parents in Year 12 this year were $41,090.

In an email sent to parents, principal Jenny Allum and the school's chair Peter Hicks said the pandemic meant there was additional equipment that needed to be purchased.

Extra cleaning costs and staff pay increases were also factored into the fee increases ahead of term one.
