SCHOOL FEES for 2011

Budget

The budget for 2011 was presented to and approved by the parents/guardians on 27 October 2010 at the PTA Annual General Meeting. This budget was also presented to and approved by the Governing Body.

A resolution was adopted for compulsory school fees for the 2011 year. The fee will be R 7 950.00 per year, per learner.

A resolution was adopted that the following subjects are not included in the fee of R 7 950.00:

• Dance Studies, Art & Design and Additional Mathematics - payable directly to the respective parties.
• Any additional subject taken as an eighth subject by a learner - R 100 per additional subject. The school office will invoice parents, with fees being payable at the beginning of each term.

In addition to the above to the above-mentioned compulsory fee, there is also the teaching material fee of R 650 per learner per year. This fee is payable in advance. Some textbooks (Consumer Studies, IT Theory Textbook, CAT Theory Textbook and Engineering Graphics and Design) are not included in the teaching material fee of R 600.

Payment Arrangements

Refer to Terms and Conditions attached.

Bank Charges

The Governing Body has also decided that any bank charges, debited against the school's account as a result of dishonoured cheques and/or debit orders, will in future be debited to the relevant defaulting payer's account.

Temporary Educators

We would like to bring to your attention that Hermanus High School has found it necessary to appoint nine temporary educators to handle the additional classes. The Western Cape Education Department has refused to create additional posts or fund these temporary educators, even though the school has increased tremendously in numbers.

If parents/guardians do not fulfil their obligations and pay their school fees, we will be unable to retain the services of these temporary educators. Should this happen, we will also be unable to accept additional learners. These learners would therefore have to make use of the other high schools in our vicinity.

Non-paying Parents/Guardians

Please note that you are compelled to pay the school fees, in terms of Section 39 of the SA Schools Act No.84, 1996. The Governing Body of a public school has the right, according to Section 40 of the SA Schools Act No.84, 1996, to enforce payment of school fees and may thereby obtain such fees through legal action. Parents, who feel that they qualify for complete, partial or conditional exemption from the payment of school fees, must personally collect the necessary application forms from our finance office for completion. The submission for application forms closes on 28 February 2010.
