  13. Budget key factors • Payment of fees – exemption and bad debt ratios • No funding from the Government is received in respect of these exemptions and bad debts, and thus the paying parents of the school are funding the shortfall created • Limited income from Government • School fees to cover all essential educational expenses such as admin, school requirements, maintenance, sport, catering, salaries and stationery

  25. School Fees 2012

  26. School Fees Historically our fees have fallen into the same general bracket as Northcliff, Bryanston, Fourways, Hyde Park and Parktown Girls. We are typically more expensive than schools like Allen Glen, Ferndale and Roosevelt. Our fees are significantly lower than private schools like Trinity, Aurora and St Stithians. No school can operate successfully if inadequately funded. The primary reason for deteriorating standards in some schools is the relatively low level of funding to these schools.

  27. Local School Fees

  28. Proposed Fee Structure • School fees proposed as R22 742 • 8.5% increase • Incentives for early payment • Debit order arrangement

  29. Fees and Exemption Policy • Fees levied in terms of Act guidelines • Exemptions available to qualifying parents applying in the first term • Qualification for exemption based on both parents incomes • Commitment by parents to timeous and ongoing payment of fees • Exemptions applications due by end of first term • Exemptions are funded out of school funds

  30. Payment Methods • Core Principle • ALL FEES ARE DUE AND PAYABLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR • Incentive for doing so • Payment by 31 January 2011 – R20 468 (discount of 10%) • Alternative payment plans • Payment monthly on debit orders of R2 274 per month from January 2011 to October 2011 • Any other payment method= R22 742 for year (i.e. in full)

  31. Payment Methods • HOWEVER • Should commitments fail to be met or adhered to at ANY stage • FULL FEE WILL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY • SCHOOL FEES ARE STATUTORY DEBT WHICH IS PRESCRIBED BY LAW AND MAY NOT BE REFERRED TO A DEBT COUNCELLOR FOR DEBT REVIEW UNDER SECTION 129 OF THE NATIONAL CREDIT ACT.
