Terms & Conditions
1. All prices are subject to GST (5%).
2. Your child will be registered only when a $100 deposit has been received for the specific course(s) they are attending.
3. Deposits are non-refundable (except in the event that course is cancelled), but may be transferred to alternative courses; however, deposits cannot be combined.
4. You are permitted to switch your current registration to one of our other courses up to 7 days before the start of the current course.
5. Full payment must be received before the start of the course.
6. Requests for refunds on full payments can be made in writing or in person up to 2 weeks (14 days) before the start of the applicable course(s). We will refund your money in the manner it was originally paid to us, less the $100 non-refundable deposit(s).
7. If your child is asked to leave our course(s) due to bad behaviour, no refund will be issued.
8. In the event that there are insufficient students registered in your course, Pear Tree Education reserves the right to cancel or reschedule this course, but will offer you the choice of an alternative course or a full refund.
9. Curricula content may vary from the course description advertised.
10. For welfare purposes, parents are responsible for ensuring that their children are dropped off and picked up by an adult - regardless of the age of your children. Unlike a regular school, Pear Tree students cannot arrive or leave unaccompanied (i.e. without a responsible adult).
11. Unless you are registered for our Pre-Camp service, student arrival time should be no earlier than 8.50am. If children arrive earlier, parents must remain with their children until 8.50am, at which time the children can enter the classroom.
12. Pear Tree Education reserves the right to charge a fee for after-camp supervision in the event of very late or persistently late pick up times.
13. Additionally, Pear Tree must be informed, in advance, of the details of any person (or changes in person) that will be picking up your children, whether this be a relative, nanny, or family friend. You can do this by email or in person.
14. If you do not wish to choose Pear Tree’s ‘Hot Lunch’ option, you are responsible for providing your children with a packed lunch. As part of our educational philosophy of connecting education real life, it goes without saying that Pear Tree Education strongly advises that this lunch be a healthy, well-balanced meal (i.e. one that contains complex carbohydrates, vegetables, protein, healthy fats, and ideally essential fatty acids AKA EFAs). Pizzas, hamburgers and hot dogs - even homemade versions - are not permitted at Pear Tree.
15. Due to our general commitment to all of our students, it is difficult for Pear Tree staff to dedicate time to purchasing meals for individual students, because we would have less staff available for the other child.
