School Fees

---

Under the new Government school donations scheme, we have decided to "Opt In" which means that the Government will pay the school $150 per student instead of whanau having to pay school fees/donations.

​Under this scheme;

• The board of trustees cannot ask you to make a donation unless it is for an overnight school camp – and then you can choose if you want to pay none, some or all of the donation. If you choose not to make a donation, your child cannot be stopped from attending a camp if it is part of the school’s core learning programme (curriculum).
• You cannot be asked to make either a general or specific donation e.g. a donation for a day trip to a museum or a field trip to a hiking track

Please note things we can ask for payment...

• For any extra-curricular activity where the student has a choice of attendance and it does not relate to the curriculum/academic learning. For example ski camp, sports trip, whanau house trips, opera trip etc.
• Take-home course materials where parents have agreed to purchase i.e. homework books.
• School uniform.
• Basic school stationery.
• School ball.
