School Donations and Fees / Utu kura me nga koha

Y7/8 Kaiako — Jan 31, 2024

After 2 years of hosting technology at Hobsonville School, we are very pleased with the progress our students (and teachers) have made.

We have reviewed our Y7/8 technology costs, activity fees and school donations. We would like to trial a one-off payment, or payment options spread over the year.

The costs for the take home items will now be $145 for the year. Students make products in our Friday Specialist programmes, which they may take home at the end of the term or year, and could also be used as a school-wide resource. This fee covers the supply of materials for these take home items in Technology, Sciences, and Arts.
