Summary of Pupil Insurance Cover

In case of a medical emergency involving your child, you would insist that the school authorities act decisively and immediately. In order for us to do this, we have again arranged compulsory insurance facilities for our pupils. This cover is compulsory. The annual cost is R190 per pupil and this is included in your school account. We trust that you will agree that the cover negotiated is valuable and necessary to protect our pupils. The full Pupil Insurance Cover Policy is available upon request.

Payment of School fees

In terms of the PARENT CONTRACT, which has been accepted, fees are payable in advance. In order to facilitate the smooth administration of school fees the following options for payment are offered:

All payment options, regardless of method of payment must be accompanied by a completed debit order form. This is to cover the school in the event of default on payment.

The following payment options should be read in conjunction with School Fee Schedule:

1. Annually in advance

• EFT Payment – no later than the first day of the school year – 5% discount applies
  • Payment needs to reflect by the 1st day of Term 1, to qualify for the 5% discount.
  • NB: The School has a Standard Bank account please take this into account if you use a
    different bank account.
  • NO exceptions will be made

2. Monthly

• The only acceptable form of payment under this option will be by DEBIT ORDER.
• Debit order forms must be in the possession of the school on or before the first day of term.

3. Admission of learner 

Once the interviews have been completed payment arrangements need to be made with the Registrar including the payment of the non-refundable enrolment fee. Learners will only be accepted into the school once the enrolment fee, registration fees, levies and class funds have been paid in full.

4. Withdrawal of a learner from Michael Mount

Should a child withdraw from Michael Mount for any reason whatsoever, the parent has undertaken to give one (1) full term’s notice of such withdrawal in writing to the school office or, alternatively, to pay one term’s fees in lieu of notice. If the parent is not certain regarding withdrawal of child due to a transfer etc., please give the school a provisional letter of notice on the first day of the relevant term. This enables the school to plan the intake of new pupils.

5. Responsibility of parent/s

The onus is on the parent to monitor her/his accounts. If the parent is unable to honour payments for whatever reason it is the responsibility of the parent to contact the Bursar so that the situation can be reviewed.

6. Parent disputes

Michael Mount is aware that some students have parents that are separated, divorced or any other applicable arrangements. In these cases, parents should not attempt to involve the School in any parental dispute that may arise. The School is not able to make judgments on the merits of claims made by one parent against another and should not be asked to do so. Nor should the school be requested to take any action which is designed to disadvantage one party. Michael Mount will of course, observe any orders made by a Court in relation to a student or communications with parents.
