Admissions and School Policies
The enrolment of the Student into InnovOak School is subject to the school admissions and entry policies and all other policies and procedures (including those relating to discipline and curriculum) as amended by InnovOak when necessary.Withdrawal by school of an Enrolment Offer
If any of the following occurs, the offer of enrolment or the enrolment itself can be withdrawn or suspended or made subject to new terms and conditions: (a) If InnovOak determines that there has been any breach of the school policies or procedures or these Terms and Conditions, or that circumstances as described in these Terms and Conditions arise that entitle InnovOak to exclude or remove a Student, or withdraw or suspend enrolment or make enrolment subject to new terms and conditions; (b) There has been any misrepresentation or inadequate disclosure about the prospective student including disclosure of the Student’s record and family information, Student’s or the Parent’s nationality, citizenship and visa status and subsequent changes thereof; (c) InnovOak determines at any time that it cannot reasonably meet the Student’s needs, this may include, without limitation, situations where school was unable to interview the Student fully before offering a place to the Student and subsequently determines it cannot meet the Student’s needs. If a Student’s existing enrolment is withdrawn, suspended, or made subject to new Terms and Conditions for any of the aforesaid reasons, this will be done pursuant to the school policy.Personal Data
The Parents/Legal Guardians hereby unreservedly consent to School’s collection, disclosure, retention and use of personal data (including Student’s awards and university results) and photographs and videos relating to the Student and his/her parents for the purposes of school operations and activities consistent with the ethos and philosophy of the school, which form part of the learning and teaching or which directly or indirectly advance the educational and development potential of the Student, including without limitation public communication through the school’s communication channels including school’s materials, brochures, websites, advertisements or press releases to provide information on the intended curriculum, academic testing results, or school’s academic, co-curricular, cultural and sporting activities and events whether held in conjunction with or organized by other school affiliates or other schools located in or outside of the city or country in which the school is situated, unless such consent has been explicitly withheld by the Parents/Legal Guardians in writing at the time of application. The Parents/Legal Guardians further confirm that by signing these Terms and Conditions, the Parents/Legal Guardians are giving consent for themselves as well as on behalf of the Student with respect to the collection, use, retention and disclosure of personal data relating to them.Termination by school
InnovOak may at any time terminate this Agreement and the Student’s enrolment may be withdrawn or suspended or made subject to new terms and conditions on one semester’s written notice, or on less than one semester’s notice where school has reason, in its opinion, to determine that permanent exclusion or removal is required. School shall not take such action without good cause and, where possible, full consultation with a Parent/Legal Guardian and/or the Student. Exclusions shall be carried out according to school policy, which is available to Parents/Legal Guardians and the Student.Parental Consent
If one Parent/Legal Guardian of a Student consents to or approves a course of action, both Parents/Legal Guardians will be deemed to have given such consent or approval, and InnovOak shall not be obliged to obtain the consent of both Parents/Legal Guardians. Where the need arises, we may authorize the taking of such action as school deems necessary or desirable in the circumstances, including obtaining medical examination or treatment of a Student, calling for further medical or specialist advice or treatment or the removal of a Student to a hospital or other location, all expenses thereby incurred being for the Parent’s/Legal Guardian’s account. School will endeavor to contact one or both Parents/Legal Guardians in the above circumstances and endeavor to obtain their consent but where neither Parent/Legal Guardian can be reasonably contacted or if school deems that the circumstances do not reasonably allow for such contact to be made, school is hereby authorized to take such action as it deems necessary or desirable in the interest of the Student and school.Guardianship
Without prejudice to the authorized actions by InnovOak under the circumstances described under the section Parental Consent, Parents shall always remain responsible for all decisions concerning the Student and confirm all matters concerning the Student’s admission and studies, including continuous fulfillment of the admissions criteria. Where both Parents are absent from home, no matter the age of the student or length of parental absence, the Parents shall appoint legal guardians, the Parents’ and Legal Guardians’ shall jointly undertake the duties of guardianship and supervise the Student’s activities outside of school for which school is not liable or responsible.Disclosure of Other Information
Please note that it is important for you to declare in writing all medical, behavioral, emotional and other issues that might affect the Student’s life at school. In the case of a Student with special educational needs and/or has been given any special arrangements by any of the previous schools, InnovOak shall have the right to assess at any time whether it can provide or continue to provide adequate educational care and provision. If the Student has previously been dismissed or expelled from the school, this information must also be provided. Failure to give full and frank disclosure in writing at any time during the application process shall entitle school to withdraw or suspend the offer of enrolment or the enrolment itself or to make the offer or enrolment itself subject to new terms and conditions with immediate effect.Liability
InnovOak shall not in any event whatsoever be liable or responsible in any way for any personal injury or death that may be suffered or sustained by the Student or for any loss or damage or injury to any property belonging to the Student.Tuition & Fees Payment:

By signing this agreement, you understand no portion of fees paid or outstanding will be refunded or waived in the event of the above student's absence, withdrawal, change in status or dismissal from InnovOak for any reason. Failure to comply with the Payment Schedule may result in the Student being dismissed from InnovOak School.International Students:
Notwithstanding the general Tuition & Fees Payment clause outlined in paragraph 9 above, international students that are denied a study permit are eligible for the full refund of any payment made less the non-refundable registration fee. The refund shall only be given upon School receiving proof of declination of study permit application by Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Under such case, the offer of enrollment or the enrollment itself will be withdrawn.Force Majeure:
