School Fees
We have engaged with the Ministry of Education to cut school fees out for another year so there is no school fee payment required from whānau.
We also have the good fortune to partake in the Ka Ora, Ka Ako - Healthy School Lunches Programme with the Ministry of Education by providing daily lunches for your tamaiti. Please advise the office if there are any dietary requirements that need to be highlighted. Ensure you send a healthy morning tea and a little extra if you think they may need it. We do have fruit in schools but you are also welcome to send extra fruit in their lunchbox if it is needed.
