My daughter is turning 14. We probably lost her vaccination record 10 years ago already. It's not something parents keep for life.

She should have gotten her last shots less than 2 years ago..

its something you should keep. also I really hope you are trolling with your attitude towards documentation. You are just setting your kids up for a long ass wait at Home affairs when it eventually opens up again. Birth certs and so on are really important.

I don't even have an ID myself which is why I couldn't vote.

After completing the official application form, they sent me 6 more forms and then I still need to furnish them with the following:

- Learner admission contract
- Learner code of conduct
- Consent for credit check
- Debit order form
- General indemnity form
- Learners birth certificate
- Learner vaccination record
- Proof of residence
- Account holder ID
- Latest report card
- Financial statement from previous school

**** that, public school it is! :thumbsup:

FWIW:

ADMISSION OF LEARNERS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS​

As stipulated in the South African Schools Act of 1996, all children between the ages of 7 and 15 are compelled to attend school. Parents and guardians should ensure that all learners of this age are registered to go to school and that their children attend school regularly.

It is the responsibility of every parent and guardian to ensure that their children are registered for the following year, well before the end of the current school year. Parents may register children who are supposed to start school next year, near their home or workplace between April and October of each year. It is however important to check the registration deadlines of individual provinces.

According to the Admission Policy for Ordinary Public Schools:

Documents that are needed when making an application include the:
  • Birth certificate (Note that baptismal certificates will not be regarded as proof of birth date)
  • Immunisation card; and
  • Transfer card or last school report card for learners who have been to school previously.

Nope. I don't have an ID. My main bank card is blocked and I'm unable to use it. In order to get a new card, I need to visit a branch, which I obviously can't do due to not having an ID. For this reason I keep going to grab a new TymeBank card at the kiosks at PnP

My son just started High School. It is a public school and they pretty much asked for the same items.
We had to provide the following

- Learner admission contract
- Learner code of conduct (which my son had to sign)
- Debit order form
- General indemnity form
- Learners birth certificate
- Learner vaccination record
- Proof of residence
- Mother and Father copies of ID's
- Latest report card
- Transfer record from the primary school

Since it is a public school, they do not do a credit check which is something that I will expect a private school will do.

That's a terrible comparison. Your public school has teachers whose salaries are mostly covered by the state while Curro have to pay salaries and everything else out of the pittance Donkey pays.

Okay. I was comparing the affordability, which is what the OP seems to be interested in... not how the schools are financed.

Some of these things are fairly private. I'm not sure I'd like a school to look at my income and debt obligations.

Vaccination checks is the norm for grade 1 ... But not high school

You should keep it until they're out of school - that's just common sense. You'll need it if you want to change schools... oh wait.

They want to make sure you can live up to your obligations.

Both my kids changed schools during the school years, one from a government to private and the other from private to another private, I was never asked for their vaccination cards.... Although I do still have them
