Apologies for the late reply. The Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) fees incorporate costs of field trips and the annual class camp. These are a compulsory part of the school fees to allow us to ensure full participation in these activities.
The driving decision to increase the school fees was to ensure we maintain sustainability in our financial operations. We have been over reliant on our founder to subsidise the costs of establishing the school, and while he is still committed to supporting the school in new projects and facility development, there is a greater expectation that the school is able to meet its day to day running costs.
Simon, I do wish you all the best in your decision making regarding Jessica's enrolment for next year. I am happy to discuss further via phone call if you so wish.
