Dear Parents and Community Members
We are currently updating the students’ population for the scholastic year 2011-2012. All students who
are presently attending St Edward’s College will automatically be included in the lists for the next scho-
lastic year, unless we receive notice otherwise.
Please note that in accordance with the College’s Rules and Regulations, the College must be given two
months notice of withdrawal in writing. Late notices will not be accepted and, therefore, the first term’s
fee would still be due.
You are, therefore, kindly asked to advise us in writing before the end of July if for any reason, whatso-
ever, your child will not be attending St Edward’s College in September 2011.
Best wishes
Michael Chittenden
Headmaster
