Important Notice to SRBCL Families

We have been informed that a group of persons (3 women and a man) have been misrepresenting themselves as employees of St. Robert Bellarmine Inc. They apparently gain entry to your homes under the pretense of following up on pupil enrollment or collection of accounts.

SRBCL Inc. has not authorized a person or persons to do home visits either to do marketing jobs or more importantly, to collect payments. All financial transactions are only done at the SRBCL offices. We have never and will never use home visits and telephone brigades as marketing strategies.

Kindly inform your kids or house help not to let this group enter your homes. They apparently show ID’s with our logo and a student list. We are at the moment trying to trace where this group may have acquired such a list but rest assured that we have been very careful with our students’ records.
