SCHOOL DONATIONS

The Board of Trustees sets the School Donation for the following year in November.

The School Donation is $320 per student

Payments can be made through Kindo. School donations are tax deductible.

School donations are most gratefully received and help us to make a real difference to what we are able to offer students in terms of resources and facilities. We encourage our whanau to set up direct debits: a little every month is deeply appreciated.  Thank you so very much.

IRD Donation Rebate

The IRD rules state that the following payments qualify for the Donation Rebate

  • Donation payments to state schools (including integrated schools), schools approved as charities for tax purposes, school boards of trustees or parent-teacher associations. These payments must be donations, not just a payment of school fees.
  • state-funded schools for payment of fees, as long as these go to the school’s general fund.

Payments that don’t qualify are...

  • Payments for classes where there is a take-home component, such as technology subjects
  • Where attendance or participation of the activity is voluntary
  • Transport to or from a school activity, such as a camp or food at the camp
  • Tertiary or tuition fees.

Parents should claim for any general purpose school payments they have made.

Parents will need a Rebate Claim Form (IR 526) which will either be sent to them or can be obtained from www.ird.govt.nz or by phoning 0800 257 773 (need IRD number).
