ATTENDANCE DUES
Attendance Dues are a compulsory charge by the Catholic Integrated Schools Office. It is a charge for attendance at an integrated school and is one of the main sources of income for maintenance or upgrade of existing buildings, plus meet the costs of servicing loans incurred for this purpose. The Attendance Due is a compulsory charge invoiced from, and payable to the Catholic Integrated Schools Office. It is administered and collected by the Hamilton Diocese Office. Dues are not tax deductible. The 2018 Attendance Dues for Year 7/8 students is $444 per student, and for secondary students $888 per student.
AQUINAS COLLEGE VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION
The Board of Trustees has responsibility for governance including Finance, and as such, has set the College Voluntary Contribution at $1200 per annum per student, with a maximum of $3000 for three or more students from the same family. This is a voluntary contribution but the great majority of families have accepted the need to resource and staff the College adequately, and this school contribution supplements the Operations Grant from the Ministry of Education. These contributions support curricular and extra-curricular resources, as well as some of our necessary support staffing. Any Preference family whose financial or family circumstances are such that the full school voluntary contribution is too difficult to meet, should make an appointment to meet with the Principal.
For further queries regarding payment of Attendance Dues or Aquinas Voluntary Donation, contact the school’s Finance Administrator, Mrs. Mary Walton, on mwalton@aquinas.school.nz
