Refund information

Parents are asked to include clear transfer descriptions and to submit transfer proof to school admin contact numbers.
- Autodebit: monthly SPP via debit mandate (OCBC NISP) where parents submit a signed debit mandate and account details for monthly collection.
- Full‑year SPP payment: in prior intake instructions the school accepted EDC (BCA) at admin or bank transfer as above for the full‑year payment option. Uniform payments are made directly to the uniform supplier via bank transfer according to the supplier's invoice.

Summary of limitations and current coverage of this overview

These documents do not publish a public, itemised schedule of monthly or termly tuition (SPP) rates for the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic years; consequently this overview provides the available published book, uniform and payment‑policy details and the specific non‑refund policy for full‑year SPP payments.
