SCHOOL FEES
In accordance with the provision of section 38 and 39 (1) of the South African Schools Act (“SASA”), school fees be determined and shall be payable at this school: All parents shall be obliged to pay school fees unless exempted in accordance with the provisions of SASA, any applicable regulations and this resolution.
PARENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2024
The maintenance and standards are of the fundamental aims of Southernwood Primary School.
This is achieved only through the financial commitments of parents.
The payment of fees and on-going support of the school's fundraising projects help to
ensure that the Governing Body and staff can sustain Southernwood Primary School in its quest for excellence.
Southernwood Primary School is a fee-paying school. If the school fee account is not paid for three consecutive months,
FINCOM may enforce legal action with immediate effect.
School fee arrears will be handed over to Wilcox and Associates.
This will incur additional costs payable by the parent to the debt collector.
