SCHOOLING

Parents must encourage their children to have a positive attitude towards the school and their educators.  Many parents make great personal sacrifices for their children to attend a school such as ours.  Do not allow your children to take your sacrifices for granted.  Make them understand that 80% of the school-going population does not have access to a school such as ours and that you expect them to make the most of every learning opportunity that’s presented to them.  Insist that they take their schooling seriously.

COMPULSORY SCHOOL FEES – 2013

The school fee tariff is R5 900 per learner per year, and may be paid over 10 months.  Payment options are as follows:

Full payment at the beginning of the year; or Three pro-rata payments payable at the end of Term 1 2 and 3; or ten monthly instalments of R590 beginning January with the final (10th) instalment due end of October.

SPONSORSHIP

Would those of you wishing to make a cash sponsorship donation (to assist indigent parents/learners to pay a portion of the 2013 school fees), please ensure that you indicate clearly on the cheque, deposit slip, Internet banking or envelope, that the amount is for SPONSORSHIP (SCHOOL FEES).

Regulation grey shorts OR grey longs, tracksuit jacket, grey socks, plus plain navy blue tie is to be worn at all times with long sleeve blue shirt.  NO track suit pants may be worn over the school uniform.
