School Fees for 2026

The Governing Body has prepared a detailed budget for 2026, which includes provision for the school fees payable by parents and guardians, required in order to meet the School’s budgetary requirements. This budget was presented to parents at a duly convened meeting and approval for the budget and the proposed school fees was adopted by resolution of the parents present.

All expenses for the forthcoming year were budgeted on a zero-based approach, meaning that expenses were not justified by simply applying an inflationary increase to the previous year’s budget. In addition, the support received from the Western Cape Education Department represents just over 0.6% of the School’s total expenses. As a result, the School remains largely dependent on parent contributions to meet its financial obligations. It was therefore resolved that SACS Junior School will continue to operate as a fee-paying school.

The Junior School, Pre-Primary School and Grade N fees for 2026 are accordingly set as detailed below. In addition to school fees, parents are expected to cover the cost of certain textbooks, stationery, sports equipment and all items of school clothing, as well as camps, music tuition and certain extramural activities offered at, or through, the School.

Building & Development Fund

The voluntary contribution to the Building & Development Fund is R3 250 per family per year for the Junior School. This levy enables the School to invest in capital development projects and plan responsibly for the future, ensuring that we maintain our position as one of South Africa’s leading educational institutions.

This levy is tax-deductible, and Section 18A receipts will be issued for all contributions made. Please note that the Junior and High Schools collect these levies separately; all donations made to the Junior School are used exclusively for Junior School development.
