The pre‑school admissions notice identifies the registration payment process but does not set out a detailed refund table on that page. Fee payment options (methods) - The pre‑school admissions notice specifies that the registration charge for pre‑school is paid in cash at the school premises. The published fee schedule does not itemise other specific payment channels (for example, bank transfer, credit card, cheque or instalment portal) within the same document.

(If you need the exact per‑term breakdown on a specific payment cadence—e.g., monthly, quarterly or annual instalments—or formal refund/withdrawal rules and accepted payment channels as used by the school's accounts office, those specific billing dates, instalment options and payment methods are not itemised on the published fee schedule and admissions notice for the year reviewed.)
