Good Day,
I have been informed by the schools finances@yorkroadprimary.co.za email response team that the school’s Finance Policy is currently under review?
Should this be the case, it presents a valuable opportunity for parents/guardian feedback and possible recommendations to be considered during the policy review process. Should the Finance Policy be finalised prior to the school’s November 2025 Budget meeting, we may end up having to wait for the next policy review, which would be an unfortunate missed opportunity.
Kindly advise as to how parents/guardians can get involved in this policy review process and please share the contact details of the persons or member/s of the Student Governing Body (SGB) who are overseeing this Finance Policy review. Thank you.
Please keep up the good work at our school.
Good day Keaton, contact the bursar@yorkroadprimary.co.za with your request. In conjunction with your email, the bursar may consider a notice.
