6.1 Actual Payment
of Fees
- Fees paid by cheque should have the name of the child written
on the reverse.
- The School does not issue a receipt for fees paid by this
method since there is sufficient proof of payment through the normal banking
system.
- The School discourages payment of fees by cash.We will issue a
numbered receipt for all cash transactions however it is up to the parent to
ensure that a receipt has been received
Often attempts are made by parents to pay in cash at times when
it is not possible to issue a receipt. If possible, cash will not be accepted
under these circumstances, all cash must be paid in at the main office and a
receipt generated as normal.
6.2 Telephoning the School
The main office deals with most calls and is normally very busy at most
times of the day but especially early in the morning, at lunch times and at
dismissal. Avoid calling the School at these busy times unless you have no
alternative.
Various sections of the handbook indicate when it is
not necessary to contact the School immediately i.e. if your
child is going to be late or off sick.
Please help the office by
noting these points. If you have access to a fax machine or can send emails,
consider sending the School messages by these means. In many respects this is
preferred since there is automatic documentation of any requests that you might
have and there is no immediate interruption of the office routine.

that the School is informed of any changes to the following.
