5. PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEES
All parents are obliged to pay school fees in terms of Section 40 of the SA Schools Act, unless they have
been granted exemption from the payment of school fees. The criteria for the total, partial or conditional
exemption of parents, who are unable to pay compulsory school fees, will be determined in accordance
with the criteria set out in the exemption of parents from school fees regulations (as amended in Govern-
ment Gazette 39392 of 17 November 2006).
6. PRIVATELY RUN BUS TRANSPORT SERVICE AT SCHOOL
If transport fees do not reflect on the schools’ books by the 7th of each month, you will be notified and
your child will not be able to use the bus until payment has been received. Please keep in mind that EFT
payments takes 3 days to reflect, therefore your payment must be done by the 3rd of each month in
order for it to reflect by the 7th. Once you have received the notification, please do not take your child to
the pickup point, as the bus driver has been instructed not to pick up any non-paying child until the amount
outstanding has been settled. Please note proof of payment request below.
