Donations and Activity Fees
SCHOOL DONATIONS :
Whangaparaoa Primary School is rated decile 9. While this has many advantages (community, student attitude, high achievement etc.), its biggest difficulty is that annually we receive only a fraction of the Ministry of Education funding that is given to Low Decile Schools (approximately $800 per student LESS than a decile 1 school).
In 2017 our projected expense to run the school is $1,200,459
the income we receive is $1,015,090
you can see there is a $185,000 shortfall of income.
This is why we depend on our parent community for significant levels of support and fundraising to try to give our students as many opportunities as possible and not disadvantage them.
We therefore ask parents to make an annual donation, which the Board of Trustees tries to keep to a minimum, but without which, would be impossible to
function. Any payments through the year of instalments, would also be appreciated.
| 2017 Donation Requested | Activity Fee – For School Trips and Events – but not Camps | |||
| One Child | $145 | Year 1/2 | $35.00 | |
| Two Children | $230 | Year 3/4 | $40.00 | |
| Three or more children | $255 | Year 5/6 | $50.00 | |
ACTIVITY FEE
In 2017 we are offering parents the choice of paying a lump sum to cover the school trips and events.
The aim of the lump sum is so expenses can be paid at one time, rather than having frequent requests. The Activity fee will also significantly reduce the administration time of multiple transactions. You are still welcome to pay at the time of the experience.
The Activity fee does not include camp experiences.
