SCHOOL FEES
ATTENDANCE DUES
Attendance dues are charged by the church proprietors in Auckland, with the money being used for the upgrading of school facilities. This charge is compulsory and children may be excluded from the school roll for failure to pay these fees.
Fees for the year 2023 are $147.50 per child, per term. Parents need to have term fees up-to-date before commencing the next term, unless arrangements have been made with the school.
This fee is paid directly to the NZ SDA Schools Association Ltd. A copy of the Payment Plan Application 2023 form is below if you need to arrange payment installments.

ACTIVITY FEES
Activity donations cover many of the incidental expenses that occur during a school year, such as swimming and local excursions. The cost is $25 per term, per family.
This fee is paid directly to the school.
YEAR 7-8 TECHNOLOGY FEE
The Year 7-8 students attend Bruce McLaren Intermediate School to complete the curriculum's technology requirements. The cost per child in Year 7 or 8 is $50 for the year.
This amount needs to be paid before the children can keep any of the projects they make at Technology.
HARDSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS
The NZPUC offers support to parents who are struggling to pay the fees but are keen on keeping their children at the school. Please discuss this further with the Principal to find more about this.
