As an independent school, we receive limited funding from the government - approx $1000 per school child and various rates for kindergarten children depending on age and attendance. The largest source of funds for the Trust comes from parents donations. As a registered charity, New Zealand taxpayers are able to claim back 1/3 of all of their donations at the end of the financial year, 31st March.
In order to uphold the commitment that no child should be denied this education on financial reasons alone, the school community works together as an expression of social responsibility to fund the balance to be able to provide for all the children. This is done in many varied and creative ways.
Some parents are able to donate more financially or in kind.
Some parents are able to donate more through deeds. There are formal deed pledge positions such as cleaning, kindergarten assistants, grounds maintenance, administration tasks that reduce our employment costs.
Many parents contribute through voluntary deeds – as a Trustee or Class Parent, helping on field trips, baking cakes, joining groups such as craft group, woodwork group, Building & Maintenance Team or fundraising efforts such as CREAM, Advent Fair Group, Titirangi Village Market and Café.
We also greatly appreciate and welcome the support from beyond our current parents.
Maybe you are a grandparent or godparent of a child at school and would like to support their education, maybe you are a past parent or student and would like to continue to support the school, or maybe you believe that this education is important work that needs your support......

One of the great dynamics of money is that it grounds us, and when we put money behind our commitments, it grounds them too, making them real in the world. We can wish for better schools, a clean environment, and world peace; we can even volunteer, but when we also put our money behind those intentions, we become really serious about them. Money is a great translator of INTENTION into REALITY, VISION into FULFILLMENT."Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money
