Dear families

Term 1 school fee accounts were emailed to all families this week.

If you did not receive your fee statement by email, please let me know so that I can send through another copy.  If you would like to update your school fee account email address, please let me know.  We can only store one email per family account for school fee statements.

Fees may be paid by instalments and if you require assistance working out your instalment amounts, I will be happy to help.

Please send me an email or given me a call with any school fee related queries.

Kind regards

Susan Rowell

Please let us know how many signs you require, along with your eldest child's name and class.
