Nowra Christian School

Conditions of Enrolment

CONDITIONS OF ENROLMENT - Enrolment (and ongoing enrolment) at NCS is subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. That the parents will agree to allow the child to share fully in the life and programme of the School. This includes consistent attendance, participation in devotional activities, doctrine lessons and supporting the School's ethos.

2. To ensure that parents are fully aware of the Bible teaching that their children will be receiving as an integral part of the School's curriculum parents, who have not provided the School with a Pastor's reference from their current Church, will undertake the Christianity Explained course during their first 12 months in the School community.

3. That the parents undertake to provide the child with the correct uniform as approved by the School and to ensure that the child is always sent to the School neatly and modestly dressed in the required uniform.

4. That the parents undertake to provide the child with all necessary text books and other equipment of a personal nature that may be required to enable the child to benefit from the education offered.

5. That the parents accept the right of the School to employ such discipline as it deems wise and expedient for the child, and agree to uphold in every way possible the School's authority and right to administer appropriate punishment in accordance with the policies of the School.

6. Fees must be paid in instalments on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis. If you elect to pay on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, fees for each term need to be paid in full by the last week of that term. If you elect to pay on a quarterly basis, the instalments are due at the end of week 4 of each term. The applicable enrolment bond must be lodged prior to your child/ren commencing School.  This is held as a guarantee on the payment of fees and will be refunded when the family leaves the School subject to payment in full of your account.

7. We undertake to meet in full our fee obligations by the due date each term. If this condition may cause you some difficulty, please contact the School to request an interview with a representative of the Board's Financial Sub-Committee to discuss this matter before you accept or decline this offer.

8. That parents will give at least one (1) term's notice of termination of enrolment and failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the enrolment bond and the cost of the fees for the term unless there are mitigating circumstances that are acceptable to the School Board.

9. That the School may suspend or terminate enrolment at its discretion for failure to comply with these conditions or other serious breach of the School's rules and regulations.

10. That a refund of unutilised fees on termination of enrolment for any reason whatsoever will solely be at the discretion of the School.
