'SIS goes MaD'

Please refer to 'SIS goes MaD' Timeline for the payment schedule.

 

Activity costs should have included transportation, activity package, insurance and administration unless otherwise specified.  All costs are the best estimates we could get at the time of planning.

 

Costs are still subject to change, per final group size and air tickets (overseas trips).  Prices may increase if the final number of students is less than estimated, and vice versa.  Families will be reimbursed with overpaid amounts.

 

For overseas activities, costs DO NOT include fees for inoculation, physician consultation or travel visas.

 

Although we are committed to an equal opportunity policy, some of the activities are very physically demanding which may mean that some students will need one-to-one support for them to be able to participate.  Parents should be aware that this can be provided, but only at additional costs.  They may also want to consult with the activity leader or MaD coordinator about the demand involved.

​

Only E-Payment will be accepted.  Please click HERE for how to arrange the payment via the ESF App on page 4. 

 

Deposits, non-refundable and non-transferable, are needed for most of the trips to secure places.  SIS also needs funds to secure bookings with airlines and tour operators in order for the trips to go ahead.

 

Deposit amount:
For locals and the cost of the trip is over HK$2,000, a HK$2,000 deposit is requested.  if the cost is under HK$2,000, full payment is requested (no deposit).

For the overseas trip: HK$5,000

 

Deposits are due:
2023-24 Current Students: June 24, 2024

New students whose space is confirmed BEFORE June 30 2024: July 14, 2024.

New students whose space is confirmed AFTER June 30 2024: 1 weeks after the trips confirmed.

​

Balance are due:
2024-25 Current Students: August 31, 2024

New students whose space is confirmed AFTER August 31, 2024: Full payment will be settle after 1 week for trips confirmed.

​

If deposits are not received by the set deadlines, students' registration will be considered incomplete.  Students without a completed registration may be removed from the registered trip and re-registration will be required.  Re-registrations are considered after those on the waiting list.  Hence, it could be possible that a student would not be able to get back into the originally registered trip.

 

If you need a Invoices & Receipts, you can download from the ESP App.  Click HERE for how to get the invoices & receipts on page 10.

 

If payment is already made on students' behalf to outside parties, there will be no refund.  It is all down to when the cancellation by student is made.  For overseas trips, there will be no refund once booking is made with airlines or tour operators.

 

Refunds:

• 50% of the total fee minus non-refundable items (such as accommodation, transport) will be refunded if a student withdraws less than 48 hours prior to the event and the family provides notification to the school that is deemed reasonable.

• 100% of the total fee minus non-refundable items (such as accommodation, transport) will be refunded if a student withdraws more than 48 hours prior to the event and the family provides notification to the school that is deemed reasonable.

​

Refunds are to be requested in writing to the teacher supervising the activity & trip administrator and must be accompanied by relevant medical certificates in the case of the student withdrawing from the activity due to illness.

 

If a student gives no notification of withdrawal or non-attendance then no refund will be made.

 

Refunds will not be made if a student is sent home from the activity due to illness or injury occurring at the activity or due to disciplinary reasons.

​

Refunds based on absence due to family reasons will be decided upon on an individual basis by the school Principal.

​

If, at the end of 'SIS goes MaD', there is any surplus on the trip account, families will be reimbursed with the remainder of the money in the trip.

If students withdraw from a trip/activity, refunds is only possible after deducting all incurred expenses paid out by South Island School on students behalf.
