Course fees/ donations
No school donation fee.
Some subjects are costly to run, eg: woodwork, metalwork, ngā toi, whakairo, art, food tech/hospitality. Subjects such as these will have a flat fee of $50 per year which contributes to the cost of the course. Music tuition for private lessons also have a fee of $50, the lessons are held at school through the music department.
School Camps
Year 7 & 8, 9, and 10 camps are highly recommended but are not compulsory. Camps give the students physical and mental challenges in a new environment, it is an opportunity for significant growth and builds on the opportunity for exploration of local bush and rivers. The cost of camps is approximately $200.
Sports and cultural activities
The cost of fees associated with entry to competitions and the cost of equipment provided for the sport is charged to parents. We do our best to keep the fees as low as possible. If your child wants to participate, parents/caregivers will be expected to pay the fees.
Class trips
There are on occasion class trips for the enhancement of the curriculum. Teachers will send a letter home if this is the case.
