     CONDITIONS OF ENTRY AND ATTENDANCE

     These Conditions of Entry and Attendance (“Conditions” or ”Agreement”), duly executed, shall be required to be submitted before the Student is considered for acceptance by the School (as defined below) and shall govern the Student’s attendance at the School, whether at Early Learning, Preparatory and/or College, until duly terminated, replaced or renewed by further written agreement between the parties or otherwise as provided in these Conditions. 

    Instructions to parent/s and/or legal guardian/s:

         These Conditions are to be completed, each page initialled and the signature page signed and dated in respect of EACH Student and submitted to the School timeously.

    1.      The details of all parent/s and/or legal guardians must be completed on page 1 and all legal guardians must sign and date the signature page of these Conditions. In the event of only one legal guardian signing these Conditions, please provide the School with an acceptable reason for doing so in writing, together with any supporting documentation.
    2.       For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of these Conditions, “legal guardian” shall mean such persons who have legal parental rights and responsibilities in respect of the Student, including but not limited to biological and adoptive parents.
    3.       In addition to the signature of the parent/s or legal guardian/s, all Students from Grade 4 to Matric must sign this Agreement.
    4.     Please note that no amendments by the parent/s and/or legal guardian/s to these Conditions will be accepted.

     

    I/We hereby agree and acknowledge the following:

     

    DURATION

     

    1.       This Agreement shall commence when signed by the Student's parent/s or legal guardian/s and terminate when the Student completes the school’s curriculum and any exit examination offered by the School at the end of the Student’s schooling, unless it is terminated earlier in terms hereof.
    1.       This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements entered into in relation to the Student's entry and attendance at the School.

             FEES AND CHARGES

    Clauses 3 - 7 below limit and exclude obligations, liabilities and legal responsibilities which the School may have towards you.  They also limit and exclude your rights and remedies and place various risks, liabilities, obligations and legal responsibilities on you.

    1.        I/we shall pay the School such fees, levies and charges (“fees”) for the education, boarding fees and supply of goods and services to the Student as shall be fixed by the School in its sole discretion from time to time. I/we have been provided with a copy of the School’s fee payment options and fee structure and I/we shall be bound by any increase of fees or modification of the payment structure introduced by the School, at its sole discretion, by giving us not less than one month’s notice thereof.

    The clause above contains a statement which is an acknowledgement of fact by you.  You must read this clause carefully and ensure that you agree with this statement. You will not be able to deny the truth of this statement and the School may have claims and/or other rights against you as a result of this statement.

    1.      In respect of new Students only: A non-refundable placement fee (credit card/EFT) is payable within 14 (fourteen) days of the School’s acceptance of the Student which placement fee will guarantee the Student’s place at the selected Reddford House upon entry into the School. It is recorded and agreed that such placement fee does not constitute a deposit on account of fees and is therefore not a payment in reduction of any fees due or which may become due in the future.
    1.    Should more than one legal guardian sign the acceptance for payment of fees, it will render us jointly and severally liable for payment of the Student fee account.  This means one legal guardian may be held individually liable for the entire account.
    1.    The fees for each quarter/month are due and payable via debit order, in advance, per the School’s published fee schedule.

    6.1.  Failure to make timeous payment of due amounts shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and in such case the Headmaster/Headmistress may, at his/her entire discretion, cancel this Agreement on reasonable written notice (“notice period”) thereof.

    6.2.  In the event that the arrear due amounts are not paid to the School during the notice period, the Student will not be allowed to return to the School after the expiry of the notice period, nor will the Student be allowed to write any further examinations and/or to receive any school reports.

    6.3.   Nothing in this clause 6 will prejudice the rights of the School to claim damages and arrear amounts in the appropriate forum. 

    1.    Notwithstanding anything contained in clause 5 and/or the fee payment option selected in terms of the Payment Arrangement Form, in the event that any payment is received by the School after due date as set out in the Payment Arrangement Form, I/we will be deemed to have selected the monthly payment option in terms of the Payment Arrangement Form and I/we shall be liable for payment of such monthly fees and I/we will be bound to the terms regulating monthly payments.

    The clause below places various risks, liabilities, obligations and legal responsibilities on you.

    1.      Outstanding amounts shall bear interest to be calculated from the first day of the relevant quarter/month to the date that the fees are received in full, at a rate equivalent to the prime bank rate charged by First National Bank as at 31st January of the relevant academic year plus 3% and compounded monthly.  In addition, an administration fee of R60 (excluding VAT) will be payable for each attendance by the School arising from such late payment.
    1.     Co-curricular activities that attract a monthly charge will be reflected on a monthly statement of account that will be emailed to us; should my/our fees payable for co-curricular activities be outstanding for two consecutive months, the Student’s attendance at these co-curricular activities will be terminated.

    The clause below limits and excludes obligations, liabilities and legal responsibilities which the School may have towards you.  It also limits and excludes your rights and remedies and places various risks, liabilities, obligations and legal responsibilities on you.

    1. Should I/we wish to withdraw the Student from the School, I/we shall be obliged to give at least 1 school term’s written notice (“notice period”) of such early cancellation, to the Headmaster/Headmistress.  Such notice shall be given prior to 17h00 on the first Friday of the Student's intended final term at the School.

    10.1.  Upon such cancellation, I/we shall, as far as the law allows, be liable to the School for payment in respect of –

    10.1.1.    the fees owing to the School up to and including the last day of the notice period; and

    10.1.2.  if the written notice of cancellation is not given timeously in accordance with clause 10, a cancellation charge equal to the fees which would have been payable for the 3 month period following the term in which notice is given.

    10.2.        The cancellation charge shall be calculated as follows:

    10.2.1.   where I/we have selected the annual fee payment option, the cancellation charge shall be calculated based on the quarterly fee payment option;

    10.2.2.  where I/we have selected the quarterly fee payment option, the cancellation charge shall be calculated based on the quarterly fee payment option; and

    10.2.3.   where I/we have selected the monthly fee payment option, the cancellation charge shall be calculated based on the monthly fee payment option.

    10.3.        For the purposes of this clause 10, a quarter shall mean a 3-calendar month period ending on the last day of March, June, September or  December, as applicable.

     10.4.        All payments due in respect of clause 10.2 shall exclude any sibling discount.

    10.5.        We acknowledge that the cancellation charge is reasonable and a fair amount in the circumstances, having regard to the nature of the goods or services concerned, the length of the notice period, the reasonable potential for the School, acting diligently, to find an alternative student, and the general practice of private schools.

    The clause above contains a statement which is an acknowledgement of fact by you.  You must read this clause carefully and ensure that you agree with this statement. You will not be able to deny the truth of this statement and the School may have claims and/or other rights against you as a result of this statement.

    10.6.       The Student shall be entitled to remain at the School during the notice period and for the period in respect of which the cancellation charge is calculated, subject to compliance with the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    FOREIGN STUDENTS

    1.      If the Student is not a South African citizen or a permanent resident of South Africa, I/we acknowledge that a valid study visa in the School’s name is required in order to enrol and commence attendance at the School, a copy of which will be provided to the School. I/we undertake to assist the School’s appointed immigration consultant to ensure compliance throughout the duration of the Student’s enrolment at the School and I/we agree to the payment of the applicable annual levies.
