An invoice will be placed in your childs communication pocket in the foyer of each room, 4 weeks before the end of the term. Payment is due within 14 days. If payment is not received, a letter will be placed in your pocket requesting the immediate payment of fees. A fee of $20 will be charged for every week that fees are overdue.
There is a fees box outside the 4 year old room. Please place your payment advice slips and payment documents in there at any time. Do not place cash in the box under any circumstances.
Renown Kindergarten has a policy of non-discrimination, however fees are structured to recognise the difficulty for parents under certain circumstances.
A volunteer parent nominates to be the Fees Officer, please contact them for any queries regarding invoices or payment. The teachers do not handle payments or cash. Any queries or disputes regarding fees should be discussed with the Fees Officer.
It is the policy of the kindergarten that if your child is away due to illness or holidays, normal fees apply unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Committee.
You may choose any of three ways to effect your payment.
In each case you must tear off the payment advice slip from your invoice and place it in the fees box. This allows the Fees Officer to track payments and answer queries
Internet
This is the preferred method of payment. You can make a direct internet payment to:
BSB 033072
account name: Renown Kindergarten
account number: 160450
Ensure that the childs name is noted with the payment. Place the payment advice slip in the fees box.
Direct Debit
You may pay by cash by making a deposit at any branch of the Westpac.
BSB 033072
account name: Renown Kindergarten
account number: 160450
Place the original direct debit receipt from the bank together with your payment advice slip in the fees box.
Cheque
Cheques are made payable to Renown Kindergarten.
Please place your cheque in the fees box at any time together with your payment advice slip.
N.B. In the event of cheques being dishonoured, any bank charges incurred will be the responsibility of the payee.
Late payment
All parents must understand that Kinder is not a free service and if fees are not paid the Committee will advise you that your child cannot attend until the fees are paid.
If you are experiencing difficulties in making payments please do not delay in advising the Fees Officer who will help make alternative arrangements to suit your needs.
It is your responsibility to advise the kinder of any tardiness or inability to pay on time. A fee of $20 per week is charged for late payment unless otherwise arranged with the Fees Officer. You may refer to the Policy for further information on late payment.
