Financial Assistance & Bursary
MISCELLANEOUS & SCHOOL FEES
- Miscellaneous and School Fees are collected between 20th of every month to 5th of next month. For students on GIRO, fees will be deducted on 26th of the month or the following working day if 26th the month falls on a non-working day.
- We encourage parents to make fees payment through GIRO. It is more convenient and safer as students need not bring large amount of cash to school.

- The GIRO account will be suspended if it fails in the following month or exceeds 2 months fees. Once the arrears are settled in cash/cheque, the GIRO account will be automatically re-instated.
