School Donations
As a decile 10 school, our operational funding from the Ministry of Education does not fully meet the costs of running our operations at the level you expect and which we wish to provide. Fundraising, including donations and grants, makes up the balance.
We rely on parental donations so that we can continue to meet and exceed your expectations about what we can deliver for all of our children.
In 2011 your donation will be used to:
• Subsidise music instruments and equipment for projects such as a school band.
• Increase resources for art projects and exhibitions
• Subsidise special events such as sports, camps and other school trips
• Increase teacher aiding for special needs students
• Subsidise programs for gifted and talented students and other enrichment programmes
• Purchase extra computer equipment to ensure that our classrooms are equipped for future learning
• Resource our online learning environment to support home and school partnerships for learning
• Extend our reading and mathematics resources to support classroom teaching and learning
We regard annual parental contributions as the fairest and most feasible way to provide educational opportunities for all our children. This view is shared by most parents at the school, regardless of their ability to pay.
There are several ways you can choose to contribute. The automatic payment option has proven to be very popular. Please support our school, it is appreciated.
