I attend a public school and my parents are pensioners. So I have graduated year 12 and filled out the form with teachers signatures to sign out (removed from the enrollment register) of school, however when I submitted this to the office they said that I haven't payed my school contributions( around $300 and something) and I cannot sign out unless I pay for them. I have already payed for the compulsory fees such as art supply money etc. If I am not mistaken contributions are optional. So why am I not allowed to sign out unless I pay for it? So after all this I asked for an interview with the principle and she said the same thing and told me that I don't need to worry because not signing out will not affect me at all. I'm not sure if this is true because I have heard that this can look bad when you look for a job and I also cannot get my atar if I don't sign out? Nevertheless I would like to sign out just to finalize everything and confirm that I have indeed finished high school.
I want to complain but I just want to confirm that this is actually blackmail and they are not allowed to do this. Am I correct?
