This will assist the school office in end of term arrangments: cheques handed in after this may not be cashed until after the Easter Holidays, and this means no cash is in school over the holiday period for security.
The Italy Excursion has a final payment date of Wednesday 23 March 2016 - this is now extended until Wednesday 13 April 2016.
