• Year 000 – 5th Form: Annual fees are due and payable monthly in advance via debit order over a period of ten (10) consecutive months from the first business day of January to the first business day of October each year.
• 6th Form: Annual fees are payable over a period of eight (8) consecutive months from the first business day of January to the first business day of August each year. The College reserves the right not to enter those pupils into examinations, whose accounts are not fully paid up or an approved arrangement in place, by the latest entry date.

Annual fees paid in advance will receive applicable discounts and this will reflect on your statement of account in January.

Arrangements can be made with the Finance Department to pay annual fees over extended terms but please note that interest on all arrear accounts will be charged at 6.25% above the prime overdraft rate, published from time to time, and compounded monthly in arrears. No allowance is made for absence from school for illness, extended holiday and disciplinary reasons.

The debit order system saves time and administration costs and has enabled us to contain the annual fee increase. The debit order amount will relate to the monthly fee due and payable and is a compulsory* requirement for all families.

• Non-SA residents.
• Parents who have taken advantage of the early settlement payment in advance option.
• Parents who have obtained an exemption approved by the Finance Manager.

• A once off "debtors' admin fee" of ZAR 4 200 will be charged, from 1 March 2027 to all NEW compulsory accounts that have not complied with the debit order system.
• Any debit order that is returned by the bank will attract an admin fee of ZAR 600.

Non-resident surcharge for non-compliance: ZAR 3 500 per month.

Exchange Control regulations promulgated in 2004 necessitate a deposit of one term's fees (in addition to the usual placement fee) being lodged with the College before a scholar who is resident of a country outside the borders of South Africa can be admitted. As these deposits have not been separately demarcated by the College to date, any non-resident who does not have a full term's fees in advance in their account at any time will be levied the monthly surcharge until the account complies with this provision. In other words, Annual Fees are payable termly in advance for all non-resident scholars whose fees are paid to the College via exchange control channels, and this does not apply to parents who take advantage of the early settlement payment options.

Payments in cash will attract bank deposit fees at applicable rates charged by FNB (currently up to 2.7%) plus an administrative charge of ZAR 400 per deposit. Please note that the early settlement amounts will not apply in full to settlements by credit/debit card and/or payments in cash, as the additional bank charges incurred will necessarily be charged to your account. Foreign transfers take longer to clear — you are advised to make allowance for this when taking advantage of the early settlement options, in order to avoid disappointment, as cut-off dates will necessarily be strictly observed. Any bank charges incurred by SCC for cash-related transactions (either directly by SCC or via ATM cash deposits) will be debited to your account.

We seek transparency in providing as complete a picture of the ultimate cost of education as possible and therefore annual fees, in each grade, include expenses planned for the year ahead considered to be for the benefit of all scholars. Traditionally, in the private sector, general purpose or educational levies are added to augment fees, whereas at St Charles College incidentals or "extras" will include only those expenses that depend totally on the individual activities of your son.

• Voluntary activities
• Books
• Foreign language courses
• Extra subjects
• Rewrites
• Remarks
• Additional tutoring
• Sick bay
• Transport
• Daily boarding
• Special entertainment
• Unsubsidized or voluntary sports tours

Will be recovered individually as and when the specific expenditure is incurred. Details of such will be available on request.

All extra mural activities, as well as other extras where possible, will be charged using the KARRI app and payment is expected to be made within the stipulated deadline dates — Download the App.

All "extras" (for example sick bay) billed to your account are to be paid within thirty (30) days of the date of the statement of account upon which the charge for the extra is reflected.

A daily boarding rate of ZAR 725 per night will be charged for day scholars staying in the boarding establishment for short periods. Where boys necessarily stay overnight for a planned school function, a reduced rate may be charged.

Parents are requested to ensure their children are members of a medical aid scheme and to provide the College with the details thereof. Doctors' consultations and medical practitioners will charge their fees directly to parents or their medical aid, as the case may be. Parents are furthermore requested to ensure that their child's/children's possessions are adequately insured under their own personal all-risks insurance policies. The College cannot be held liable for theft/loss of any pupil's possessions from the College premises or Boarding Establishments.

A full term's notice, in writing, or one (1) term's fee in lieu of notice, is required before withdrawal of a pupil from the College or the Boarding Establishment. Once the year has commenced (whether a Day Scholar or Boarder) and where registered for the A Level program and/or 6th Form Grade 12, notice of withdrawal will not result in any reduction in the annual fee payable.
