These learners will only be allowed into the school upon proof of payment. 6) UNPAID CHEQUES OR INSUFFICIENT FUNDS All unpaid cheques and referrals for insufficient funds will attract a charge of R150.00. 7) OVERDUE ACCOUNTS If the school account falls in arrears the person who is responsible for the account should contact the school as soon as possible to make satisfactory arrangements. Please do not simply ignore the account. In this way unpleasantness can be avoided. The school operates as a Non Profit Organisation and any account, which is not paid regularly, and in full, has a negative effect on the rest of the school s operation. a) Interest: Interest at the rate of 2% per month will be charged on all accounts that are not settled within the terms set out above. b) Penalties: If accounts are 60 days overdue, learners will be asked to withdraw from the school. Outstanding amounts will remain due and payable and will attract legal costs if necessary. WITHDRAWALS One calendar month s written notice is required upon withdrawal of a learner. School fees are payable until the end of the month in which the learner withdraws. BOOKS AND STATIONERY 1. TEXTS BOOKS A deposit of R 2,500.00 will be payable before any books are supplied to the learner. The actual cost of the text books will be charged to the learner and the deposit will be deducted. Any shortfall will become due and payable at the end of the month (usually the process will be completed by the first month of the second quarter). If there is some certainty that the same books will be prescribed for the following year the school will endeavour to sell the text books on your behalf during the following school year. The amount that will be credited to the learners account will depend on the condition of the returned books. At the end of the school year the learner is personally responsible to hand in his books to the person in charge of the school books and must obtain a receipt for the books handed in. Note: The school is under no obligation to buy back used textbooks if/when a learner leaves school or is promoted to the next grade. 2. STATIONERY AND EXERCISE BOOKS A list of stationery needed for each subject will be made available. Please ensure that your child arrives at school with the necessary stationery, as the school does not stock these items!! Page 3 of 5

MEDICAL EXPENSES Parents must, where possible, make their own appointments should the learner require medical attention. Medical accounts will not be paid by the school.
