PARENTAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING MEDICAL LIABILITY The school will not be liable to pay medical costs for any child. We would also prefer that your child’s medical care be managed via Private Medical Facilities rather than the less optimal state option. We therefore insist that all boarder children belong to a medical aid, or at the very least a medical plan. It is preferable that your child is placed on a South African medical scheme as very often schemes from across our boarders are not accepted, and parents have to pay costs up front in order to claim back these expenses at a later stage from their own schemes. There are various options available for medical cover in South Africa. One of these medical schemes is Cape Medical which has a School Group Scheme for around R800* per child per month. This scheme covers hospitalization and a day-to-day cover for around R4000* per year (for medical consultations, medicines etc). Other medical schemes include Fedhealth, Bonitas, Medscheme etc. Most medical schemes are contactable via their websites on the Internet. The school does not source medical aid on your behalf. If you have your child on a medical scheme or hospital plan, we will require a copy of the medical card. It is your responsibility to ensure that medical costs such as hospitalization, doctors visits and medication are covered. It is also important that you advise your medical scheme that your child is attending an education institution in another country so that they are aware of his/her particular circumstances. I, _________________________________________________, parent/guardian of ________________________________________ belong / do not belong to a medical scheme. I declare that I understand and accept the following terms and conditions related to my child/ren’s medical care : a) That I am financially responsible at all times for my child’s medical care, irrespective of whether I have a medical scheme or not; b) That I am responsible to provide the school with details of my child’s medical cover, medical history, medical conditions and any related information the affects the physical, psychological and general medical well-being of my child/ren; c) That the school will act in loco parentis in all issues with regard to my child’s health and medical well-being in the event that they cannot get hold of me or my nominated alternative as indicated above; d) That the school will act in loco parentis for all life-threatening or emergency situations that may arise – these situations might need immediate action and parents will be informed at the earliest convenience of actions taken; Parent’s Signature : _________________________________________________________ DATE : ___________________________ Parent’s Name (please print) : ___________________________________________________________________________________ * These costs are estimations which are subject to change and are not fixed. BOARDING HOUSE CODE OF CONDUCT I, _________________________________________________, parent/guardian of _________________________________________ acknowledge that I have read and understand the St Agnes Boarding House Code of Conduct and that my child/ren will be expected to abide by these rules.

APPLICATON FOR IMMIGRANT STATUS WHAT IS MEANT BY “IMMIGRANT STATUS” : Description : An immigrant is : A. a child or dependant of a diplomatic representative of a foreign government accredited in South Africa; OR B. a person who : first enrolled at and entered a South African school in Grade 7 or a more senior grade; or having begun his/her schooling at a school in South Africa, has attended school outside South Africa for two or more consecutive years after Grade 6 or its equivalent Children who qualify for immigrant status from the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) have the following choices (depending on ability to cope with their second language and in consultation with parents and teachers) : i) Continue with the second language and obtain a full National Senior Certificate in their end of Grade 12 national examinations (this only with the recommendation of the child’s teacher); or ii) Drop the second language and take up an alternative subject (compulsory) in order to obtain their National Senior Certificate at the end of Grade 12. Parents should note that having a second language has always been a compulsory requirement for passing Matric for entry to University up to 2007; however from 2008 certain Universities may vary in their requirements for admission due to the new NSC Curriculum. Parents will need to determine these requirements through direct enquiry at the Universities where your child may apply for future studies. At St Dominic’s College, we require your child to do a second language in Grade 8 & 9, irrespective of whether he/she qualifies for immigrant status or not. This serves to afford the child the opportunity to reflect whether he/she has potential to cope with the subject (many potential immigrants do well and continue with the second language into Matric), and hence whether to continue with the subject in the senior grades or not. Please fill in the following form and return with the necessary accompanying documentation, together with this registration form.
