(The following is an indication of costs for students/taiohi for 2022/2023)

Class Material Fees

This fee covers the cost of the ‘take home’ part of the subject/course. Extra material costs may occur if additional projects occur. These fees are set early in the year, and you will be advised as soon as possible. Statements are sent out Termly so you can see what is owing, or you can view this via the parent portal.

YR 2023 Fees (Indication only)

School Trips and Camps

Information relating to Camps will be outlined in the course information at the beginning of each year.  Information relating to what can be charged can be found on the Ministry of Education website.  Camp prices vary from $60 to $350, depending on course selection.  A donation is asked to cover the cost of the camp.

We would encourage families to set up an ‘Automatic Payment Option ‘early in the year, to ensure that the school trip or camp is paid for prior to the event.

Sports Fees

These fees are set by the Sports Club. Payments must be made in full within three weeks of receiving sports invoices. Please note that these fees are non-refundable.

If choosing the automatic payment option, please advise the Accounts Office.

Payment Options

We have varying options for payment. Eftpos is available at the accounts office, Credit Card via the Parent Portal or  Automatic Payment. We do accept cash where necessary 

If you are paying by direct credit the school’s bank account is

                        ASB Waikato Branch 12-3476-0027464-00

Please put your child’s name in the ‘Particulars’ field and use the ‘Analysis Code’ field if you are paying for more than one child. If the payment is for a specific activity put this in the ‘Reference’ field.

You can use the Parent Portal on the school website to pay by Visa or MasterCard.

Automatic Payment Option: The school provides facility for parents/caregivers to ‘spread’ the payment of school fees and costs. We would encourage parents/caregivers to discuss this option with our Accounts team and to consider this if you have more than one child at school. This is recommended for camps, sports events and subjects with additional costs attached. The payments will be allocated by the Accounts office accordingly. Any credit balance can be repaid at your request.  If support is needed with fees, please talk to someone at the school, as we do have some assistance available.
