After School Supervision

After school supervision is automatic from 3:30 pm onwards, for students in junior kindergarten to grade seven, who are not picked up by their parents/guardians. Time is set aside for structured activities, such as homework, play, and/or provision of a snack. This supervision is free from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm. However, a fee will be applied automatically for each half-hour between 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Instead of being charged per half-hour between 4:00 to 6:00pm, you are welcome to sign up for a fixed monthly payment; a sign-up form is required for each academic year. From 6:00 pm onward, a higher fee will be applied automatically.

Homestay can be arranged by Hawthorn for our international students at $1,000 per month per student.

Voluntary gifts are also welcome. Charitable tax receipts are issued for all eligible donations for the taxation year that it is donated.
