Our preferred payment is internet banking or through the Edge App, however you can also pay via cash or eftpos at the school office.

In 2022, the Board of Trustees agreed to enter the Ministry of Education donation scheme.

This means that in 2024, there will be no donations, fees or curriculum-related expenses charged to you. If your child decides to take part in any sort of activity that they opt into, then their account will be charged. Examples of opt-in activities are sports fees, music tuition, opt-in academic programmes such as ICAS, and Taiopeka, to name just a few. Camp is the one big event that we will still charge for. Apart from camp, if you are with your class, it will be free, including expensive events like swimming and any day trips such as rock climbing or going to the museum.

You will be charged for stationery as normal, which you purchase individually, and a Prime Math Workbook ($20), which will be placed on your account. We will also be asking for a contribution of $15 towards the many online learning programmes we provide for your child as part of the stationery cost as your child can use the programmes at any time and anywhere.
