2014 Budget The budget covers: The cost of maintaining the level of education offered to the learners by the school All operational, security, maintenance, staff remuneration and capex expenses The Role of the School Governing body is to review and support the budget setting The Parent body approves the annual budget
2014 Budget setting To ensure Rand Park High remains a competitive and sought-after public school, in all aspects. The need to retain quality educators in the school and ensure manageable class sizes The need to improve and introduce the best practice in the field of technology and infrastructure Compliance with the South African Schools Act Continued maintenance and upgrading of the school building
2014 Budget Objectives Income must exceed expenditure Ensure the quality of education is maintained and improved Offer a balanced range of learning and other activities Maintain the best practice in the field of technology and infrastructures The need for expenditure to run the school effectively Maintain a secure, safe and clean environment Adequate equipment to meet the school operational needs
Key factors for 2014 Budget setting Learner enrollment numbers Payment of fees – exemption and bad debt ratios The lack of funding from the Government in respect of exemptions and bad debts Limited income from the Government Salary budget is critical to pupil/educator ratio and distinguishes our school from many other schools School fees to cover all essential educational and operational expenses Expenditure is limited to funds collected Cutting fees will result in a reduction in facilities, teaching staff, choice of subjects and extra-murals

Proposed 2014 School Fees
School Fees No school can operate successfully if inadequately funded. The primary reason for deteriorating standards in some schools is the relatively low level of funding to these schools Historically our fees have fallen into the same general bracket as Northcliff, Bryanston,Fourways, Hyde Park and Parktown Girls. We are typically more expensive than schools like Allen Glen, Ferndale and Roosevelt. Our fees are significantly lower than private schools like Trinityhouse, Aurora and St Stithian’s. .
