Fee Adjustment
Posted by Jaime Koh on March 18th, 2013
Dear Parents,
As you are aware, the economic climate has been very difficult these few years. Despite steep increases in operating, rental and employment costs, we have kept most of our fees unchanged for the last 5-6 years, without compromising the high quality of teaching at Little Mandarins.
Since we started operations in Dempsey in 2007, we have seen many of our students move up the levels. Watching them develop into confident Mandarin speakers has been a major motivation for us all at Little Mandarins. However, it is critical that we sustain our ability to offer the very best to all our students and thus, we would need to adjust our fees with effect from next term to help defray some of our increased costs.
Lesson Fees : Increase by $2 per lesson for all levels
Materials : Increase by $1 to $26 per term
GST : 7% absorbed
All other fees remain unchanged. Please refer to our fees section for the updated pricing.
In appreciation of your valuable support, we are pleased to announce a discount scheme for siblings.
2nd child = 5% discount on lesson fees
3rd child = 10% discount on lesson fees
We do understand that any fee increase is stressful. However, we want to assure you that the quality of teaching and our small class size remain the key priority for us and we will not compromise on these promises to you. We thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Yours sincerely
Ying Miller
Director
