THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL FEES
QUINTILE 5 SCHOOLS
Preparing for the brightest future, Summerwood Primary School provides unparalleled dedication and commitment to students and their variety of needs, passions and dreams.
Parents need to appreciate that Summerwood is one of a number of Quintile 5 schools in Port Elzabeth.
This means that these schools receive the least amount of funding per pupil as opposed to quintile 1-3 schools. The per capita funding per pupil is approximately R200-00 per child. This funding is quickly consumed by the ever increasing costs of lights, water, telephone and maintenance costs of the school. Schools have to also budget for extra staff, stationery, purchase/rental of photocopier and, insurance premiums, etc. At most schools these departmental funds last about a term. Where does the additional money come from? Only from school fees, if they are paid... It is also equally important for parents to get actively involved in the activities of the school to overcome these financial woes. Parents can assist in organizing fundraising ventures in partnerships with employers and business houses.
If the above are implemented, then our children would receive the quality of education prudent for their sound didactic growth and development.
