STUDENT TRANSFERS

All  families agree in writing to abide by the college's policies and procedures upon enrolment of their child. As per our fee policy (point 14.3) in instances where a student exits the college without providing one term’s notice in writing or equivalent, one term’s fees will apply. Charging of the fee is not a penalty for withdrawal without notice but a calculation of genuine economic loss incurred by the college. This is the reason the late withdrawal fee is applied.

The college plans for, and commits to, a range of staffing costs and services, such as a laptop leases, camps and excursions, in advance. Where a student is withdrawn without sufficient notice, the college may not be able to fill that place at late notice which results in a commitment to costs that are no longer required.  The withdrawal of a student in shorter than the agreed notice period now also becomes a cost incurred by other parents. Naturally the college will exercise discretion over fees in exceptional cases such as personal hardship or family bereavement.

Please contact me by email taston@sjcmda.vic.edu.au if you need to give the college notice if your family is leaving the district or of your intention to withdraw your child/ren from the college.  If you require further information please do not hesitate to call me on 5018 8034.
