| Bursaries A small sum of money is provided by the St.Benedict’s Trust each year to assist parents experiencing temporary financial difficulty - by providing partial bursaries for pupils. As resources are limited assistance can be provided in only the most needy circumstances, to a pupil whose behaviour and scholastic progress is regarded as satisfactory. Such assistance needs to be applied for in October for the following year. |
|
| Notice In terms of the agreement signed by parents/guardians at the time of their son's enrolment, a full term's notice in writing is required if it is their intention to remove their son from the school or boarding house. (Alternatively a full term's fees and levy in lieu of notice is required.) Adequate notice is appreciated as it allows for timeous arrangements to be made for the reallocation of places at the school and boarding house. |
