2023 Fees and Notice Required for Withdrawal from the College
I would like to remind parents of the College's Fee Policy and the requirement to set up a payment schedule in Parent Lounge if the account is not paid in full by the noted due date. Please ensure that you organise and set up your payment schedule before 28 February.
I would also like to take the opportunity to remind parents of the College's student withdrawal procedure to ensure the continued planned financial commitments of the College are managed:
When a student is to be withdrawn from the College, or if an enrolment is to be cancelled by the parents, they are required to give the Head of College one term's notice, in writing, before the withdrawal or cancellation date. A term's notice is defined as a full 10-week term plus any holiday periods. However, if withdrawal is to be effective at the end of the College year, written notice must be given by the end of Term 3. Parents/guardians who do not give such a period of notice will be liable to pay the College an amount equal to one term's fees in lieu of such notice.
Drop-off and Pick-up
Please remember when dropping off or picking up students that road rules exist for the protection of everyone, including your boys. Police and other authorities will be enforcing traffic regulations.
Please remind boys that if, for any reason, they are not picked up after school, they should go to the Health Centre and wait for a parent to arrive. The staff there are able to look after the boys and make every effort to contact parents.
