We have had a difficult time lately. I lost my job and my wife has been ill so I have been doing my best to pay the bills and look after my family. Because of our current circumstances I have fallen a term behind in the school fees. I have begged the principal to allow me to pay term 2 fees before the end of the holidays and indeed pay term 3 in advance so my kids can stay in the school but the principle has removed them harshly and will not change his mind. My children will be completely heart broken. We have so mucch stress in our life and just wont a fair go. We do not want a free pass i just want to be given the opportunity to do the right thing for my family and do not feel that my children deserve to be punished. I simply wish to be able to pay per term in advance and feel this is fair but the principle is being really harsh and not wanting to listen to us no matter how much I beg or share how hard our situation is. I do not know what to do. Please help my family, especially my children by signing this petition or contacting the school directly to voice your support. The school is Coolum Beach Christian College http://www.cbcc.qld.edu.au/ (+61 7) 5446 4780 I really appreciate it!!!
