Payment References: Please use your FAMILY CODE (available on d6) when making any payment to the school. Payments referencing only “school fees” cannot be allocated correctly. Please note that even if your family name was previously sufficient, our updated financial system now requires the FAMILY CODE for accurate processing.

If different parents or guardians contribute to the fees, each payment must include the FAMILY CODE and the learner’s full name.

Fee Payments

  • Fees are payable in advance by the 7th of each month, as stated in the parent contract.
  • If your salary is paid on the 15th of each month, please note that:
    • January fees must be paid on 15 December of the current year, and
    • February fees on 15 January, and so on.
  • School fees are not charged per month of attendance, but as one annual amount for the year’s full academic programme.
    • Parents may choose one of the following payment options:
      • Annual payment at the start of the year
      • Four termly payments at the start of each term
      • Eleven monthly instalments, payable at the start of each month
  • Affordability of fees must be confirmed before a learner is admitted for the new academic year.

Re-Registration and Registration Fees: The re-registration fee does not only secure a learner’s place for the new academic year. It also supports the school’s cash flow at the start of the year, as fees are divided across 11 months, with no payment in December. The re-registration fee, while lower than a monthly instalment, ensures that the school can continue to operate effectively, maintain facilities, and meet financial commitments between school years. Part of these fees is applied towards extramural development as well. 

School Fee Increase and Government Subsidy Cuts: As discussed during the AGPM in August, we have had to adjust our school fees for the upcoming academic year. This adjustment is a direct result of a significant reduction in the government subsidy granted to independent schools. In the previous year, we absorbed the financial shortfall within our budget to minimise the impact on parents. However, a 26% cut in the subsidy for 2025/2026 has directly influenced the necessary increase in school fees.

 

We want to assure you that if any opportunities arise that allow us to reduce school fees, we will explore and implement them. Unfortunately, at this time, none of the factors that could lower educational costs have materialised.

See individual subject list of books on the detailed stationery form for Grade 7-12.


Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners will pay an additional textbook fee of R900 per year. This is due to the differentiation in the range in subjects and the way in which learners have taken responsibility for their textbooks in the past 3 years.


MATHS Secondary School from Grade 8 to 12 Calculator needed: Scientific Calculator CASIO FX 82 ZA plus 11 V PAM 254 functions, textbook display available at R408 to order from the school. Information in this regard will be distributed to learners at the start of the new year.

Stationery and Resources:

Our stationery orders are carefully compiled using data from previous years to ensure that each learner receives sufficient supplies for the year ahead. We ask that parents and learners work together to care for all materials provided. Learners are expected to be accountable for their stationery and scripts. In cases where items are lost or damaged due to negligence, parents will be required to replace them.

Some parents requested the option to purchase stationery independently. Unfortunately, our experience has shown that many learners do not receive all the required items, or the purchased materials are incompatible with our learning

needs. To maintain consistency and quality, we will continue to distribute standardised stationery and scripts directly through the school.

  • Each learner will receive a stationery pack for the year. This pack includes essentials such as pens, pencils, colouring pencils, art materials, scripts, and copy paper. It is intended to last the full year. Learners are responsible for replacing any items lost or damaged through negligence. (Grade R–3 learners keep all stationery in class.)
  • Dictionaries: Shared classroom dictionaries will be available. Parents are welcome to purchase their own or use an online dictionary at home.
Textbook Fees for FET (Grades 10–12):

Learners in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase are not required to purchase textbooks individually. However, these books are more expensive than those used in earlier grades and require frequent replacement due to wear and subject-specific updates. For this reason, a textbook fee of R900 per year applies to FET learners. This fee may be spread across monthly payments and must be settled before the end of the school year. The cost of School Fees for Grade 10 to 12 learners is higher than Grade R to 9 due to subject choices that result in more teachers having to be employed.

Uniform and School Bags

To maintain uniformity, durability, and presentation, we have introduced a standardised school bag as part of the official uniform policy. Our current school bags are available in two sizes and have proven highly durable and suitable for daily learner use. All Grade 1, Grade 8, and new learners are required to have the branded school bag from the start of the 2026 academic year. Learners who already own a suitable, durable school bag may continue using it. However, once replacement is necessary, the official school bag must be purchased. We also remind parents that all learners — especially in the High School — must use bags designed specifically for carrying schoolbooks. Using sports or casual backpacks will not be permitted. Uniform order forms are available at Reception or online via the following link: https://forms.gle/iGhKamvigGM7Anbi6

Parental Responsibility and Support:

We wish to remind parents that it is each parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child meets all school uniform requirements and arrives at school well-groomed, in full uniform, and ready to learn.

Your cooperation in maintaining a disciplined and organised environment plays an essential role in the success of our school community.

  • The cost of official PEPPS Motheong Afternoon Activities, offered as part of the school’s curriculum, is included in school fees. Additional activities (e.g., Karate, Ballet, Swimming, Maths Buddy) are paid directly by parents.
  • Parents may budget for school excursions based on a grade-specific information leaflet that will be distributed in Term 1. Average excursion costs range between R250 and R500, depending on venue, accommodation, and transport.
