Social Media Consent Form

EASTC Technical School
Social Media Consent Form

This parental consent form is used to both inform you and to request permission for your child’s photo / image to be published in the newsletter, bulletin, Facebook page, website, or other social media outlets and publications.

As you are aware, there are potential dangers associated with the posting of personally identifiable information on a website since global access to the Internet does not allow us to control who may access such information. These dangers have always existed and we will do our best to ensure that privacy settings are at the highest setting; however, we want to celebrate your child and his/her work and maintain good lines of communication with you.
Pursuant to law, we will not release any personally identifiable information without prior written consent from you as parent or guardian. Personally identifiable information includes student names, photo or image, residential addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.

If you, as the parent or guardian, wish to rescind this consent, you may do so at any time in writing by sending a letter to the School Office and such rescission will take effect upon receipt.

Social Work Consent Form

EASTC Technical School hereby informs the parent(s) / guardian of learners enrolled at EASTC Technical School about the developed initiative of rendering social work services to learners at our school. The primary purpose of this rendition is to cater for the learner’s well-being and to ensure they progress effectively as they absorb their curriculum. The school is rendering social work services in partnership with a professional in the field.

Learners face challenges from time to time, and often do not know how to deal with them. Therefore, the social worker is there to help them acquire the proficiency to cope with the challenging encounters they may face in and outside school. The Social worker will attend to the learner’s emotional, social, and psychological needs.
Kindly note that the social worker will be readily available to conduct counselling sessions to learners as per teacher’s referral/staff member. To conduct these sessions, the school requires your consent as a parent(s)/guardian, to the possibility of enrolling the learner in the counselling sessions should the need arise. These counselling sessions will be offered free of charge to all learners enrolled at EASTC Technical School. Should the social worker determine, after the sessions, that the learner will need further intervention, i.e., educational psychologist, this will be discussed with the parent(s)/guardian, and it will then be for the parent’s account.

SCHOOL FEES POLICY

Aims and objectives.

• The aim of this policy is to ensure a robust, non-discriminatory, and fair approach to the method by which we deal with parents who have not paid their child’s school fees on time.
• The objective of this policy is to ensure there is consistency in terms of approach and methodology. It is imperative that a standard process exists and that all involved are aware of this.

Payment of Fees

• School fees are payable in advance and the school looks to both biological parents for payment of fees, irrespective of if parents are single, married separated, divorced, remarried, married customary law etc. Fees must still be paid and cleared by the 7th of each month.
• Failure by Student to attend lessons for any reason whatsoever will not reduce liability for the total cost of the full course and the student shall be entitled to no credit or reduction as a result of the student’s failure to attend lessons.
• NO Refund will be made on any monies paid to the school in respect of Registration or any other fees.
• Every fee for each next month must be paid on or before the 7th of that month.
• If you pay the full amount before end of March, and there are no arrears, a discount of 10% on the full year’s tuition will be subtracted.
• It is compulsory for Grade 1-12, who are paying monthly, to complete a Debit Order form.
• In the event of the fees being in arrears, the school reserves the right to exclude your child from all school activities, lessons and until such time that the fees are paid, or a special arrangement has been made with the school. Any such arrangement does not waive the fees and in such case, it will be treated as a once-off arrangement.
• If payment is not received as elected or any single instalments not paid by the due dates, the whole amount that’s outstanding will become immediately due and payable.
• The school reserves the right to issue transfer cards to learners with unpaid fees anytime during the year.

Late Payments

• A 2.5% interest will be charged if fees are not paid on time. Parents will be notified by text and/or letter to bring their account up to date within the next 4 weeks.
• If fees still remain unpaid then a report of all outstanding fees and payments made and/or missing will be passed to the Principal and possible exclusion may follow.
• If a debt rises to an unacceptable level (second month of late payment), the school reserves the right, in extreme cases to exclude the pupil on three days' written notice if fees remain overdue for payment.
• If a pupil is excluded for a period of 28 days, he / she will be deemed withdrawn without notice and a term's fees in lieu of notice will be payable immediately by the Parents.
• The parents shall also be liable to pay all costs, fees, disbursements, and charges including legal fees and costs reasonably incurred by the school in the recovery of any unpaid fees regardless of the value of the school's claim.
