4.REGULATIONS APPLYING TO SCHOOL FEES

In terms of Section 40 of the South African Schools’ Act (SASA), biological parents / legal guardians have a legal obligation to pay school fees. This is a statutory debt and must be met by biological parents / legal guardians. The Act does not distinguish between a married, divorced or single parent. A learner only has a single parent when the other parent is deceased, not when there has been a divorce or never a marriage at all. Divorced parents remain the learner’s parents, irrespective of their altered marital status. Graeme College Fee Structure

The School adopts and implements the exemptions regulated as gazette in October 2006. Unless a learner has only one parent, both biological parents’ / legal guardian’s income must be taken into account when an application for exemption is considered.

Both biological parents / legal guardians are responsible for their child’s education, and, in terms of SASA, a school may demand payment of the school fees from both OR any one of a learner’s biological parents / legal guardians.

School fees is a statutory obligation, which a learner’s biological parents / legal guardians must pay and the parents / legal guardians (married, unmarried or divorced) are jointly and severally liable.

One biological parent / legal guardian may enrol the learner at Graeme College, and, as per the admission form, we will use that address, as “domicillium citandi et executandi”. Graeme College will send letters or accounts addressed to both biological parents / legal guardians to that address. It is that parent’s responsibility to pass any and all information on to their ex husband/wife / partner / other parent or legal guardian.
