School Donations
Donations are vital to our school as they make a significant difference to the delivery of our learning programmes. They enable us to provide resources that are not covered by our state funding. As a Decile 10 school we receive less government funding per child than lower decile schools
Your donations help the board and staff to deliver the curriculum to a high standard. Donations are usually used to purchase reading and maths materials, computers and ICT equipment.
While donations are voluntary, we do rely on them and we greatly appreciate your financial support.
Receipts will be issued for donations, and tax rebates can be claimed from the Inland Revenue Department.
