STUDENT FEES
Enclosed with this Newsletter is a Statement of School Fees for the first semester on the 2010/2011 school year. This
statement reflects fees related to courses your child is currently enrolled in and is subject to change based on any
course changes. In such courses as Woodwork, Metalwork, Electronics, Music Art, and Media Arts teachers will ex-
plain to students in the first week of school what “basic projects” will be completed without any additional cost and
those “enhanced projects” that will be available for a fee (using superior materials, taken home by the student for
personal use). Students will have the option to prepay for all of these enhanced projects at the start of the course or to
―pay as they go‖ project-by-project if they choose to complete an enhanced project as the course progresses.
On Friday, September 24th, we will collect the fees described below as well as any project
pre-payments for elective courses (Woodwork, Metalwork, Electronics, Music, Art and Me-
dia Arts). Fees can be paid in full that day or split between two cheques dated September
