Text Books

Textbooks are normally issued to classes at the beginning of the school year. Book clearance takes place in June. Books are accounted for before the clearance sheet is signed. Where books are lost or damaged the Head of Department’s advice on cost should be sought and the relevant amount charged on the clearance sheet.
