If you wish to pay in foreign currency, please convert using the actual exchange rate. Once youve transferred the
funds to our N$ account, our bank will credit our account with the N$ equivalent using the rate of exchange on the
date the funds are received. It is the responsibility of those paying to ensure the full Namibian dollar amount is paid.
In order to avoid any foreign currency differences, we advise our parents who hold foreign currency accounts to
instruct their banks to transfer N$/R via a correspondent bank.
Parents are liable for the full amount of school fees, please ensure that the full amount is received by the school.
Parents paying by bank transfer should instruct their banks accordingly so that bank charges are not deducted from
the fees received.
No cash deposits into the schools Current account are accepted as a cash deposit fee is levied which is charged to
the school account. Cash should be paid into the schools Notice Deposit account or alternatively at our office if the
payer does not have access to banking services. The details of the Notice Deposit account are reflected on the
school fees statement. Payers who do not adhere to this instruction will have the cash deposit fee added to their
statement.
All families who join the school after the first day of the school year must pay 10% of the fees on or before their first
day of school.
Interest at the prime rate will be charged on all accounts 30 days overdue.
Fees are subject to annual increases as approved by the Board of Trustees. Parents will be informed of fee increases
in good time to make decisions for the following school year.
If a Trust is paying the fees a commitment must be made in writing to pay the fees directly from the Trust.
IGCSE and IB exam fees due are the responsibility of the person or organisation responsible for payment of fees.
Families will receive a 25% discount for the 3rd child and a 50% discount for the 4th child on tuition fees.
If the account goes into arrears our standing debt collecting procedures will be enforced.
If fees are outstanding for 2012/2013 the student(s) may not re-register for 2013/2014 until fees are paid in full.
Accounts on 90 days are handed over to TransUnion Credit Bureau. Parents will be held responsible for any legal cost
which might occur should their account be handed over to lawyers for collection (after 90 days).
When fees are pro-rated for students not attending a full year, the annual fee is divided by 10 (and not 12) to
calculate the fee due per month. No fees are charged for July and December as these are regarded as holiday
months.
All applicants will be charged a N$200 non-refundable assessment fee. Payment must be made before the
assessment is done.

OVERVIEW
We include all the activities that are regarded as stimulating and challenging to the mind. Every student will benefit from one or two
of these activities as, it will give them the opportunity to try something different or/and increase their existing knowledge. These
activities have been chosen to cater for all students in Secondary. We strongly recommend that students sign up for at least
one activity. Students should not be deterred from signing up, be it with younger or older students that share the same interest, as
we can all learn from each other. Teachers will cater for different workloads/activities for the different age groups.
STUDENT PLEDGE
Once a student signs up for an activity, they should remain committed to the activity, unless they cannot attend for
unforeseeable circumstances.
Students must notify their Activity Leader if they are going to be absent before the scheduled activity.
Students absent from an activity for more than 3 weeks without prior notice will be removed from the activity register and
considered no longer part of this activity.
Students will use this opportunity to learn, develop new skills and experiences
Students that have been nominated as requiring additional assistance with Homework will be sent home an email by
Learning Support, informing them of their required attendance to the workshop. This Homework Workshop will be held on
a Monday during Afterschool Activity times. It is therefore crucial that those students do not sign up for Monday activities.
The Afterschool activities will usually run from 1.45pm until 3.15pm, unless otherwise stated.
Parents or Guardians are requested to sign the slip below and return it as soon as possible, to acknowledge your
childs participation in the Afterschool Activities. Students will be able to sign up for their preferred activities at
the beginning of each Semester and it will be their responsibility to inform you of the activities they have chosen
to sign on to.

All new primary students (Year 1 up to Year 6) will undergo a routine hearing and vision screening. Please contact the
school nurse if you do not want your child to be tested. Secondary students may be tested following parental or
teacher request.
It is compulsory in the Primary School for all children to wear a wide-brimmed hat during break times and sports
activities. Students without hats will have to stay in a designated shady area. Please make sure your childs hat has
his/her name written inside the hat.
Our schools first aid kits contain antiseptic lotions and creams, an anti-histamine cream, paracetamol for pain and
fever, throat lozengers, arnica ointment for bumps and bruises and Elastoplast. Please indicate (in allergy section
above) if your child is allergic to any of these items.
All WIS students and staff are covered by a Medical Evacuation Policy which covers them during school hours and
school activities on campus, as well as on field trips anywhere within Namibia. The medical cover includes emergency
treatment on site as well as transport to and continued emergency treatment en route to the nearest equipped
medical facility. Once the patient arrives at the hospital and is handed over to the medical team, further treatment will
be for the personal account of the person concerned. (Drivers of our school buses and private vehicles who transport
our students on field trips and who are not members of staff have to arrange for their own medical evacuation cover
if their medical aid does not provide it.)

___________________________________________________________________________________
(herein referred to as the Activities), and in doing so, I hereby declare and agree as follows:1.
For the actual duration of the Activities, I hereby delegate, to the extent required and allowed by
law, my parental authority over my Child to the Windhoek International School and, more
specifically, delegate such authority to the persons in charge of or responsible to conduct the
Activities (herein referred to as the Supervisors). Accordingly, the Windhoek International
School and the Supervisors shall have full authority to:

control the movements of my Child during the course of the Activities; and
1.2
1.3
reasonably discipline my Child within the limits of the law and the rules or practices
employed from time to time by the Windhoek International School.
2.
I acknowledge that the Activities (specifically in relation to, but not limited to any hikes or
sports events) are potentially dangerous, and may pose the risk of personal injury or death of my
Child, or the risk of damage or loss of my or my Childs property. I agree that participation in
the Activities shall be at my and my Childs risk.
3.
Subject only to the provisions of clause 4, I will not hold the Windhoek International School, its
trustees, officers, agents, employees or the Supervisors (jointly hereinafter referred to as the

(whether by myself or any third party claiming or entitled to claim on my behalf) to the fullest
extent allowed by Namibian law, and I hereby waive any and all such claims. This indemnity
and waiver is given for each of the Indemnitees individually and for all the Indemnitees jointly.

cause of any personal injury or death of my Child; or
4.2
mandatory liability provided for under any peremptory laws in force in the Republic of
Namibia in respect of the duties of the Indemnitees acting in loco parentis.
I am duly authorised to enter into this permission, indemnity and waiver for and on
behalf of my Child; and
5.2
that my permission is not opposed by any other person holding natural or legal
guardianship, custody or comparable rights and duties in respect of my Child,
and I agree that if I am not so authorised, or if my permission is opposed, I will indemnify and
hold the Indemnitees harmless, to the fullest extent allowed by law, against any and all claims,
damages or losses of whatever nature, that the Indemnitees may suffer on account of the nonvalidity of this indemnity and waiver as a result of by misrepresentation or breach of the
aforesaid warranties.
6.
I agree that the laws of the Republic of Namibia, to the exclusion of any and all other laws, shall
govern any and all issues of liability that may arise between me and the Indemnitees, both in
relation to my Childs participation in the Activities, as well as the validity and contents of this
permission, indemnity and waiver.
