Thank you to everyone who has moved to making e-transfer payments to cover monthly fees and equipment. We ask that if you choose to do so, to kindly include a message that indicates who and what the transfer is for (name of student, monthly fees or equipment, etc.). This will help us out greatly in maintaining our book keeping.

Sincere thanks,
