School Donations
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 woodwork
- 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).
