01

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website.

A visitor who submits information through the website confirms that the information supplied is accurate to the best of their knowledge.

02

Purpose of the website

This website provides general information about Risidale Primary School, its academics, activities, admissions, news, resources and contact details.

Website information does not replace an official school notice, signed policy, admission decision, fee statement, circular or direct written communication issued by the school.

03

Admissions and official information

An admission enquiry submitted through this website does not guarantee placement or constitute acceptance into the school.

Application dates, required documents, placement availability, fees and official procedures remain subject to confirmation by the school and the relevant education authority.

Where website information differs from a current official school document, the official document will take precedence.

04

Online enquiries

The online form routes a message to the department selected by the sender. Submission does not guarantee an immediate response or create a contractual relationship.

Visitors must not submit false, misleading, unlawful, abusive or unnecessary personal information.

05

Privacy and personal information

Personal information submitted through the website will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable South African data-protection requirements.

By submitting an enquiry, the sender authorises the school to use the supplied information to review and respond to the enquiry and for reasonable related administration.

06

Learner images and school content

Photographs, videos, learner achievements and event content may only be published where the school is satisfied that the necessary authority, consent or lawful basis exists.

Visitors may not reproduce, republish, alter or commercially exploit learner images or protected school content without written permission.

07

Intellectual property

The school crest, branding, written content, page design, photographs, graphics and downloads are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws unless stated otherwise.

Content may be used for legitimate personal, educational or school-related purposes. Other reproduction or distribution requires permission from the relevant rights holder.

08

Acceptable use

Visitors may not attempt unauthorised access, interfere with website operation, introduce harmful code, scrape protected information, impersonate another person, submit spam or use the website unlawfully.

The school may restrict access and take appropriate action where misuse, security threats or unlawful activity are detected.

09

Third-party services and links

The website may link to maps, social-media pages, service providers or public-sector systems that operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement, and the school is not responsible for the availability or content of an external website.

10

Availability and accuracy

Reasonable efforts are made to keep website information accurate and the service available, but every page, download, link or online function cannot be guaranteed to remain uninterrupted or error-free.

The school may correct, remove, suspend or update content without prior notice when operational, legal, security or educational requirements make this necessary.

11

Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, the school and its service providers will not be responsible for indirect loss arising solely from outdated website information, temporary unavailability, third-party services or misuse of the website.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12

Governing law and amendments

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

The school may update these terms when the website, school procedures or legal requirements change. The updated version applies from the date published.
