ABBOTTS COLLEGE NORTHCLIFF - ****** AT ITS BEST
My daughter attended grade 8 at Abbotts College Northcliff last year. I lost my job and pleaded with the Finance lady to give me a few months to make a plan, she said that she needs to leave and terminated her contract (In October) nearly the end of the year. My daughter told me that one of her friends in her class told her that she hadnt paid for quiet a few months as well, and they gave her a chance. My daughter was accepted by Sparks schools in Randburg - I am grateful to them for taking her in at such short notice. I let this act of ****** by Abbots pass, and put it behind me, but am furious, as they are now asking me to pay after kicking my child out 2 months before the end of the year.
The most ****** school I have ever come across.
Before you ask me to pay, please share records of whoever is in arrears, and it will show how ****** against non whites still exist in Abbotts college Northcliff.

25 Apr 2024, 14:45Hi,
There is nothing that requires privacy.
I lost my job - We didnt pay the school fees - She lost her place at the school.
My daughter advised me that there were students (non indian) that had the same issue, yet they were not asked to leave.
So please do not cover up the underlying issue to make it seem as non payment.
Just know that I will not be paying your fees - Do what you must.
