FEE STRUCTURE AND POLICY

BUS TRANSPORT

1. School transport fees are fixed and must be paid on time. One-way transport services are also subject to the full fee
2. Transport services are available from designated points only; details are available at the administration office
3. Parents wishing to withdraw from school transport arrangements must inform the administration office a month in advance

SCHOOL UNIFORM

1. All students are expected to wear the appropriate school uniform and look neat and tidy. They must wear black, leather, fully enclosed formal shoes; trainers are not acceptable. Students are also expected to maintain an appropriate level of personal hygiene.
2. Class teachers will make regular uniform checks. If teachers find that a student is persistently not wearing the correct uniform, they will send the student to the Student Affairs Department and communicate home. A secondary student who is unsuitably dressed may be asked to go home to change clothing or kept from attending lessons as normal. The following should be noted in particular:
   1. Jewellery of religious significance may be worn by students by discretion of the Principal. Otherwise no jewellery, except for a watch and one small stud earring in each ear lobe for girls only, may be worn to school. No piercings are permitted. Visible tattoos are forbidden
   2. Onlygirls from Grade 6 and above are permitted to wear make-up and nail polish which must be discreet, understated and appropriate for a business environment
   3. Nails should be short and of a natural colour
   4. Boys’ socks should be plain black or white, while girls may wear plain black, white or tan socks. Shoes must be flat; heels are not acceptable.
   5. Hairstyles should be neither excessively long nor short and should not exceed those that meet with normal social acceptance. Students’ hair must be of a natural colour. It is the school’s decision on what is acceptable and appropriate
   6. Girls wearing skirts should ensure they are no higher than 5cm above the knee.
   7. Boys are expected to be clean-shaven, unless there are extenuating circumstances; these should be brought to the attention of your child’s class teacher.
   8. All uniforms, bags and lunch boxes need to be clearly labelled with the child’s name and class. Primary children may not use suitcases on wheels for school as they are a trip hazard and we do not have appropriate storage facilities.

STUDENT WITHDRAWALS

All students withdrawing from the school must submit notification of their withdrawal in writing to the administration office only after clearing the outstanding balance. A thirty (30) day notification period is required to ensure all necessary documents are prepared. The parents will then be contacted regarding the Ministry of Education’s official transfer procedures and documents.
