Hi Kim,
We have the Late Withdrawal Fee noted on our Fee Schedule (available on website, in enrolment pack, and emailed to families each year), in our Fees Policy (available on School Portal) and our Withdrawing a Student Policy (available on School Portal). The wording in our Enrolment Contract includes the following:
We reserve “the right to review its fees from time to time. Fees for the following school year will be announced on or before the last day of term 3 of the previous year. I/we agree to pay any increases in fees.”, and “I/we accept and acknowledge that a full term’s notice of withdrawal of enrolment must be provided in writing to the school. For existing students, written notice must be received a full term prior to the last day of attendance. For new students, written notice must be received one term prior to the student’s commencement at the school. In the event notice is not provided, I/we accept that a $650.00 late withdrawal fee will be payable to the school per child in lieu of notice plus any outstanding fees….”.
I hope that helps. Maybe someone else has wording they use?
Hi all, we have a Late Withdrawal Fee ($650.00) which is charged when a full term’s notice is not provided. I have heard that if the charge is specifically noted to cover costs of leaving (administration etc), it may not be enforceable as it is regarded as cost recovery rather than a standalone fee. The school also needs to ensure they give families adequate advice of fee increases so that families can withdraw with more than a term’s notice for financial reasons and not be in breach of contract. I’ve found some info here: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4572cac4-e646-410d-89cc-5d6efdcf5a5f.
Hi Kate,
We use the Involvement tab in the Community module of Synergetic. You can record WWVP card details and get a list of volunteers for a particular interaction (eg library, excursions, canteen, etc) by using the Checks/Involvement tab in your search criteria.
