  2. St Benedict’s does not require a refundable term’s fee in advance. Instead, our non-refundable enrolment fee is a once-off payment, payable in the relevant amount only when one first enrols at the school and not as a pupil progresses through each section of the school. The exception is the progression from Grade 00 to Grade 0, at which time the initial R5 000 fee for Gr 00 must be topped up to R15 000. The enrolment fee forms part of the general funds of the school.
  3. A Capital Levy is billed per annum as follows:
    • 1st child: R6 800
    • 2nd child: R5 270
    • 3rd child: R3 585
    • Matric parents are exempt from this Capital Levy.
  4. The Grade 12 IEB Examination Fee is payable in full by the end of May. Should a candidate offer more than the seven-subject package, there will be an additional charge for each subject in addition to the seven subjects. This will include learners who are registered for Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy.
  5. Gr 12 parents will be billed for their son’s matric jacket and matric dance ticket/s. Both are optional extras.
