Parent-Student & School Agreement

---

The school operates a parent-school-student agreement. This outlines what we consider parents' responsibilities as well as those of the student to be, and it clearly states where the school's responsibilities lie.We expect the document to be signed by a parent/guardian, student and returned to the school - when the student first entersl Form 1 or any other class. It is normally distributed by the School Vice Principal, on the first day of registration- it is shown here only for reference.
