GENERAL NOTES

The After-School Centre operates from the close of school each day until 17:30, catering for pupils up to G7. A light lunch is provided. A schedule of fees and charges is available from Reception. Charges are payable to the Accounts Office only. Aftercare fee for 2021TBA per month (billed over 10 months) or TBA annually.

Other Levies
Charges are levied in respect of boys electing to join the St Benedict's Rowing Section, the St Benedict’s Pipe Band and the St Benedict’s Cub and Scout Groups.
Text Books
Text books are issued on loan to pupils from Grade 00 to Grade 3. Pupils from G4 to G12 are required to purchase their own books.
Stationery
All Grade 4 to Grade 12 pupils are required to provide their own stationery and equipment as per the list supplied by the school. In Grade 00 to Grade 3 parents purchase stationery packs prepared by the school.
Financial Assistance
As has always been the case at St Benedict's, the Board of Governors makes financial provision to grant bursaries to assist parents experiencing temporary financial difficulties. Such bursaries are never awarded at the point of initial enrolment and are also not considered when an account is in arrears. Parents applying for such assistance will be required to prove their need by submitting financial proof thereof, this includes payslips and SARS Income Tax Returns. The said bursaries are designed as an interim relief measure and should not be viewed as a permanent reduction in fees. Bursaries are awarded on an annual basis and parents are required to re-apply for assistance each 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.
