I further acknowledge that my marital status, relationship with my spouse, or any maintenance order does not relieve me of my obligations under this agreement, and that I remain responsible for the payment of my child(ren)’s tuition fees regardless of my personal circumstances, as the school is not a party to such matters. Should my account with St Michael’s School for Girls, Bloemfontein be overdue for a period exceeding ninety (90) days, the school may initiate legal action to recover the outstanding amount and may claim fees for the entire year. In terms of Section 41(1) of the South African Schools Act No. 84 of 1996, St Michael’s School for Girls, Bloemfontein is entitled to enforce the payment of tuition fees through legal procedures.

I will pay using (select ONE):

1. Once-off payment where applicable to qualify for discount on school fees (exclude hostel fees) 2. Karri-App payment 3. Monthly EFT 4. Quarterly EFT
