Returning
Thank you to those who returned the letter
confirming children returning in 2019. Most classes for next year have now
reached capacity and we still have a high demand for places. Please advise the school as soon as possible
should your plans change and your child/ren will not be returning.
School Fees
Thanks to all the parents who have already paid their school
fees. A reminder that school fees are due no later
than Friday 19thof October

As per the Vaiala Beach School handbook, any fees not paid by this date
will incur a 10% fee. Payments must be
received no later than 2:30pm on Friday.
Any exception needs to be agreed to by the Principal and in writing.
May we
please remind you to use
the bank direct credit payment to: ANZ
Account No.4031570, Vaiala Beach School option and put your child’s name as reference of payment
for easy identification, or
pay by cheque to the office rather than cash.
As this is the
final term, please also note that any fees not
received by the end of week five (Friday 9thof
November 2018) will result in your child’s
withdrawal from school and places will not be held for
these students the following year.
