Department spokesperson Steve Mabona says the school would receive additional funding above R3 million on top of the R1.4 million that has been allocated to the institution.
"Which will be coming to them probably the end of August the latest, we are still finalising our international administration processes.”
Mabona has asked that parents who are able pay the school fees do so in order to keep the institution running.
He says the department is aware that some parents are unable to pay due to their income being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
