School Fees 2012
School Fees
AGM 2011
Historically our fees have fallen into the same general bracket as
Northcliff, Bryanston, Fourways, Hyde Park and Parktown Girls.
We are typically more expensive than schools like Allen Glen, Ferndale and
Roosevelt.
Our fees are significantly lower than private schools like Trinity, Aurora
and St Stithians.
No school can operate successfully if inadequately funded. The primary
reason for deteriorating standards in some schools is the relatively low
level of funding to these schools.
