2021 ENROLMENT 

Aquinas College is a Catholic, co-educational, Year 7-13 secondary school.  We are currently at our maximum roll of 750 students which exhibits some pressure at certain year levels.

Because we generally receive more applications for enrolment than positions available, we have in place a transparent process for selecting students for enrolment as outlined in our Enrolment Scheme, which is in line with the College’s Enrolment Policy.

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 2021 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.  The Board set this amount at a level to ensure all students are able to access the resources and facilities they deserve.   It is a voluntary contribution, but the great majority of families have accepted the need to resource and staff the College adequately. This school contribution supplements the Operations Grant from the Ministry of Education and supports curricular and extra-curricular resources, as well as some of our necessary non-teaching and teaching staffing above central funding to ensure we can continue to offer a broad and balanced curriculum.

Any family whose financial circumstances are such that the full voluntary donation is difficult to meet, or with any other payment queries, should contact the school’s Finance Administrator Mary Walton on mwalton@aquinas.school.nz
