A telephone call to let staff know of your situation is greatly appreciated and allows us to properly inform your child/children that you will be late however this does not exempt you from the late collection fee that may apply.

• Once you are fifteen (15) minutes late in collecting your child, a $22 late fee will apply (including GST). 
• For each additional minute after this time, you will be charged an additional late fee of $2.00 (including GST) per minute. 
• Five (5) minutes after the end of the class, student’s parents will be contacted.

  WE HAVE NO CHOICE.
