If your child needs any medication during school hours, please come in and sign a release form to explain the reason for the medication and the instructions for taking it.

SCHOOL LUNCHES & FRUIT in SCHOOLS

We receive lunches in schools through the Ka Ora, Ka Ako-Healthy School Lunches Programme. Every day your child will be supplied with a free lunch at lunchtime, comprising of a main meal, piece of fruit and a biscuit or muffin. Your child will be able to choose to eat the provided lunch. WE also are a Fruit in Schools school.

SCHOOL STATIONERY​

Students receive free school stationery for their learning. They are also provided with a school device for learning purposes.

ATTENDANCE DUES

Attendance Dues for the Catholic Schools in the Hamilton Diocese are $444.00 (incl GST) per year, (i.e. $110 per term or $8.54 per week) plus an optional $40 Catholic Character donation.
This is payable to the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton (it is not through our school). These forms will be included in your child’s enrolment pack.
You can either pay the full amount or set up an automatic payment of $8.54 per week for 52 weeks.

We have many options to support families and money should never prevent our learners in getting the education they deserve. If at any time the attendance dues or activity fees are an issue, our principal Brigit Nieuwboer or office administrator, Caroline Morunga can assist. Any inquiries will be kept confidential.
