Under the current system only 32 approved posts are paid by the state. All other costs have to be financed by school fees, the payment of which is compulsory. Fees may be paid for the year in advance or over ten months (February to November), preferably by debit order.
In view of escalating costs the above fees are subject to revision by the Governing Body from time to time. The fees for 2010 are R13,900 per learner.
TEXTBOOK AND DESK LEVY
The school charges a once off fee equivalent to 15% of the annual fee per learner on admission for textbooks and a desk and chair for five years. Should the learner leave the school earlier, a pro-rata amount is refundable. This levy is payable in full prior to the learner starting at the school.
SPECIALISED MUSIC – GRADE 8 AND 9
A fee of R4,000 per annum is charged for Grade 8 and 9 learners who wish to take the voluntary option of specialised music. This covers the costs of individual tuition. The music fee is payable on or before the first day of the first term.
PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR SCHOOL FEES
(a) In full before 16 February each year in which case a 5% discount is allowed the net fee then becomes R13,205 per learner.
