The School Governing Body has determined the Admissions Policy and the following Criteria for the Admission of learners to the school. The acceptance of any child at Kloof High School is subject to these Admission Criteria.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL CONDITIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS' ACT 84 OF 1996

The Governing Body is empowered to determine entrance criteria, to levy school fees and to enforce payment thereof, subject to the above Act. The Governing Body has the authority to make decisions effecting the management and operation of the school, and such decisions are binding on the parent/legal guardian and the child, subject to the Act.

The parent/legal guardian hereby irrevocably consents to the school undertaking any credit checks with the credit bureau for the purpose of determining whether or not such applicant qualifies in terms of the Criteria for Admission. The Governing Body undertakes to keep any information relating to any such credit check confidential. (The credit check clause was agreed to by secret ballot of the parents of Kloof High School present at the AGM on 7 November 2012).

All learners enrolled at Kloof High School shall adhere to the Code of Conduct and School Rules as approved by the Parents, Educators and Learners and signed by their representatives and by an Education Department representative.

Public school fees are a statutory duty in terms of the South African Schools Act No84 of 1996 (as amended). These school fees are payable annually in advance at the beginning of each school year and as such payment is compulsory unless I/we have been granted an exemption or partial exemption. However, purely in order to reduce the financial burden on parents, the school may extend the terms of payment completely at its discretion.

Should the School grant me such an indulgence, I accept that this undertaking in no way changes the fact that the payment of school fees is a statutory duty and not a voluntary agreement, particularly not a credit agreement as defined in terms of the National Credit Act No.34 of 2005.

Payment is made subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. If the School allows me/us any form of extended payment and I/we default and fail to pay any single instalment by the due date, then the whole amount that's outstanding will become immediately due and payable.
2. I/we authorise the school to do credit bureau searches on me/us and in the event of any school fees due by me/us nor being paid, I/we authorised the school to inform any relevant credit bureau and have my/our name listed with them.
3. I/we chose the address specified as our residential address and email address contained in this document as my/our chosen legal domicile for service of all legal notices and processed until I/we advise the school in writing of my/our new address, which will then become our new legal domicile for service of all legal notices and processes.
4. That in the event that I/we are not the natural parent and/or legal guardian of the child/ren, then I/we accept responsibility of parent as defined in Section 1 of the Schools Act.
5. I/we the parent/ legal guardian undertake that we are jointly and severely liable for school fees and any divorce order is inter-parties binding between the parents and does not affect the parent's liability to the School.
6. I/we have been advised of the exemption available to me/us on the school fees.

It is EXPECTED that learners will take part in the co-curricular activities of the school, including sport tours, cultural activities, and any other excursions arranged by the school, and parents will be expected to consent to this. Specific school activities will require attendance by all learners as spectators, helpers or participants. These activities include Derby Day, Prize-Giving, and other events that they may be selected for from time to time at the discretion of the Principal.

The parent/legal guardian shall be obliged to:

• Immediately inform the school of any change of contact details ie. address, telephone number and specifically email addresses as the bulk of our correspondence is communicated via email.

• Respect the tradition, character and ethos of the school.
• Ensure that the learner attends school regularly except in the case of verifiable erious illness.
• Ensure that all appointments are made after school hours excepting urgent, valid, specialist appointments. Letters requesting these appointments are to be emailed to the school by the parent, no learner will be allowed to leave the school without consent from the parents.

By entering into this contract, and unless you at any time instruct the school expressly and in writing to the contrary, your consent is given for the school to:

1. Collect, store and process credit information about you and any Third Party or divorced or separated Parent responsible for payment of any or all amounts comprised in the Fees;
