SCHOOL FEES
The school hopes that parents will settle school fees within the two week time frame as stated on the enrolment forms. Failure to do so will see your ward being sent out of the class. Avoid this unnecessary inconvenience to your wards.
To parents with more than one ward from same family also take advantage of the 5% discount offered by the school when you pay cash.
Why also spend the whole day in the bank queue? You can pay using your bank cards (VISA) by swiping at the cashier’s office. You can also pay using Mo626 and send us a report that shows the payment.

CAR PARK
Our Primary Car Park if used with consideration, is able to serve all cars coming to pick wards especially during the knock of time. Teachers will help direct traffic where necessary and it is our wish that no vehicle should not take more than 10 minutes during pick up and drop periods.
Let’s observe the following:
- All learners to be picked within 30 minutes of dismissal.
- No car should block the road.
- No car should remain in the car park after picking or dropping the wards.
- When there is congestion follow direction of teachers.
You may also suggest on how we can improve the flow of traffic through your groups.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
The school offers diverse range of extracurricular activities that include sporting activities and clubs. Each learner is expected to actively participate in such activities. Sports days are Mondays for Junior Section; Tuesdays and Thursdays for Senior Section apart from PE lessons they have. The senior classes have houses which are used during sporting activities and each house has a T-shirt colour, so take note.
We also have swimming lessons every Friday at a fee of 20,000 per month. Interested parents should make payments at the cashier’s office.

NOTEBOOKS
All notebooks to be covered by transparent plastic covers for durability as learners will be allowed to carry them home for revision and homework purposes. It is also advisable for them to only carry books they will use or read on that particular day.
Always encourage learners to be very responsible with their notebooks and properties.
- No soup, drinks allowed on notebooks.
- Books should never be left home.
- Homework will always be given. Remember as a parent you have a role to play. Don’t do homework for them but encourage them and where possible give guidance.
*The school provides textbooks but parents are also free to buy for their wards extras. Prescribed books are; – The Cambridge Global English, Maths, Science. It covers standard 1 – 7. For English reading and composition improvement; Sunrise Readers.
We wish you a very fruitful academic year.
