Student Withdrawal

Written notice of an intention to withdraw a student from the school is required.

On receipt of a letter giving notice, a “Notice of Withdrawal Form” will be issued to the student.  The form should be signed and returned by the parent(s) to the Coordinator of Admissions and Marketing. In the Middle and High School the student will be expected to get this form signed by the relevant teachers on the return of all books and materials.

Parents will be expected to settle all outstanding dues on fees or other school expenses e.g. lost or damaged materials, fieldtrips etc. prior to the departure of the student.  School reports and records will only be released after all financial obligations have been met. 

In cases where special letters of attendance or particular documentation is required for transfer to another school a written request for these should be submitted to the Counsellor with at least three weeks notice.
