Table View High School is a fee-paying school and charges compulsory school fees as permitted by the South African Schools Act (SASA) No. 84 of 1996. In terms of this act, parents/guardians are liable to pay these compulsory school fees. In terms of Section 40 & 41 of the Act, the School Governing Body may enforce payment of school fees and may thereby obtain such fees through legal action.
In the event of non-payment, action will be taken against both parents regardless of any maintenance agreements, which may exist between the parties. In terms of the school’s terms and conditions of enrolment the parent/guardian will be liable for all legal costs and collection fees. In terms of Family Law, parents are jointly and severally liable for payments of learner’s fees. School fees are exempt from the National Credit Act as this is a statutory debt. This debt may not be referred to a debt counsellor or Administrator for administration. Payment options must be arranged with the school.
Table View High School is a fee-paying school. As parents, you have all taken a conscious decision to enrol your children at a fee-paying school, rather than opt for a non-fee-paying school. Having chosen a fee-paying school, this places an obligation on you, as the parent, to pay school fees.
The above notwithstanding, in terms of the South African Schools Act, families who are unable to afford the school fees are entitled to apply for a full, partial, or conditional exemption. Parents who would like to apply for exemption of school fees must contact the finance office on finadmin@tvh.co.za to book an appointment to collect the necessary prescribed application forms. The submission for application forms closes on 28 February 2026. Please note that even though you may have received a rebate in the previous year, the law requires you to re-apply for exemption each year.
A parent who is dissatisfied with the School Governing Body’s decision may lodge an appeal in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notification on such decision to: The Head, WCED, Private Bag X9114, Cape Town, 8000
Fax: (021) 467 – 2996
A parent must also furnish The Head, WCED, with reasons for the appeal and all relevant information pertaining to it. A copy of the letter must also be forwarded to Mrs M Müller at Table View High School via email to finadmin@tvh.co.za or hand delivered to the school for her attention. Schools have been exempted from the National Credit Act as this is statutory debt. This debt many not be referred to a debt counsellor. The rebate you have been awarded is for the 2026 school year only. Should you require financial assistance in 2027, please re-apply next year.
