K-6 Students

Notice of Withdrawal: Parents must give at least one full term’s notice, for students in K-6, in writing to the Director of Enrolments before terminating the Student’s enrolment (Notice of Withdrawal). This notice must be received on or before the first day of the commencement of the Student's last full term at Mount Sinai College. The Notice of Withdrawal must stipulate the date from which the Student will cease to attend the College. If sufficient notice of termination of the Student’s enrolment is not given, one term's School fee's will be charged.

If a written Notice of Withdrawal for a student leaving at the end of the current year is received during Term 4 (with the exception of current year 6 students), it will be considered late. In this case, parents will be charged one full term’s fees at the rates applicable for the following year. To avoid this charge, notice must be received on or before the first day of Term 4. Any notice received after this date will incur the fee for Term 1 of the following year.
