The Board of Trustees have set the school donation for 2025 at $160.

Our school donation has remained unchanged since 2022 so the Board felt that a $10 increase was appropriate in the current financial climate.

We would like to remind our families about the donation system that Cotswold Mātāhae has in place.  As we were a decile 8 school and are now on the new scale system EQI 415, we are not able to opt into the Ministry’s donation scheme. The decile or EQI indexes reflect the socio-economic factors affecting the families of each school, and Cotswold Mātāhae being a higher decile, therefore misses out on this additional funding offered from the government.

Instead of receiving this government funding, we will be sending out a request for a $160 donation at the start of Term 1 2025 to our families to assist our school with extra funding to support Learning Assistants, as well as purchasing teaching and learning resources.

To date in 2024, we have received $36,858.00 (approximately 48%) and so we would encourage you to help the school by making a contribution.

If paying in full is difficult, please consider contributing in instalments over the remainder of the year. Parents are entitled to claim 33.33 cents for every dollar donated to approved charities and organisations including schools.

Thank you for your support of our school.
