HOUSE KEEPING MATTERS
We finish the term next Sunday 18 September, 2022. Please note the reminder above.
Once term commences, any late notice to cancel lessons would attract cancellation fees equivalent to 4 lessons worth of fees. This is because we have lined up our teachers and kept the slot for your child on the basis that your child is returning to lessons. This has always been our policy and is clearly set out in our enrolment form and term invoice.
Term 4 commences on Monday 3 October, 2022. There will be 10 weeks of lessons in total except the Tuesday lessons which will have 9 lessons as 1 November is Melbourne Cup Day.
We are making a small change to our term 4 invoice this year. We will invoice the fees for two Term 1 lessons as 'holding fee' that will be applied towards your 2023 Term 1 invoice in due course. The reason for this new practice is to help us plan our resources -lining up teachers and planning our class/lesson times based on numbers returning (those who have paid the holding fee). Those who have made the payment will be assured a spot in a particular class or will be given priority in scheduling them at their preferred lesson time.
The holding fee is non-refundable unless 4 weeks notice is given to Forte to cancel there-enrolment for Term 1, 2023 .
We have been been caught out by very late notifcations of cancellations of enrolment in the past. As such, we hope this will make things run more smoothly and that we can enjoy a a great start to 2023!
We would therefore appreciate your cooperation in making this holding fee payment if you wish to re-enrol your child for Term 1, 2023.
The term invoice has a due date. We appreciate payment on or before the due date as we pay our teachers weekly and have substantial ongoing operating expenses to pay. There will be a late fee charge of $15 on invoices that are unpaid and outstanding for more than 4 weeks after due date. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
We look forward to having a fabulous Term 4 together.
Happy holidays!
