School Costs

What Are Attendance Dues?

KingsWay School is a state-integrated school. The Proprietors own or lease the land and buildings and safeguard our special distinctiveness as a Christian school. Operational funding is received from the government by the same formula as applied to state schools and recognises that the school is responsible for its own capital development and ensuing debt. To meet the debt and/or make lease payments the Ministry of Education allows the school to charge attendance dues and gives approval for the amount of the Attendance Dues.

The payment of the Attendance Dues is a condition of entry and a condition of continued enrolment. The money goes directly to the Proprietors via direct debit.

Attendance Dues

Attendance Dues can be paid in annual, quarterly or monthly instalments. Below are the amounts:

• Annual amount in advance x1 payment (due date 1st February) – $2,132.00
• Quarterly amount in advance x4 payments (1st or 20th of Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct) – $533.00
• Monthly x12 payments (1st or 20th of each month) – $177.67

We also request a Special Character Donation of $780.00 per annum.

The Special Character Donation can be paid annually, quarterly or monthly:

• Annual amount of $780.00 (paid by 1st February)
• Quarterly amount of $195.00 (paid by 1st of Jan, Apr, Jul and Oct)
• Monthly amount of $65.00

This allows us to provide personnel and resources in line with our special character. Not only does it provide resources to implement the ‘Christian worldview’ (Special Character) in all we do, but it also supplements what we receive from government funding so we can add value to such things as ICT developments, subsidise programmes, provide additional staffing and resources and develop initiatives in sport, art and cultural activities.

The Special Character Donation is an ongoing donation and can be paid into this account number: 12-3084-0192348-00

Refund Policy – Special Character Donation

Due to the nature of the donation and because KingsWay regularly remits funds to school’s daily operations, we are under no obligation to give refunds on donations that have been knowingly and voluntarily given to school. Decisions on refunds in exceptional circumstances will be at the discretion of KingsWay School’s Executive Principal. KingsWay School will refund all donations that are made fraudulently due to unauthorised use of a credit card. If a donation is refunded, the associated tax receipt is no longer valid and it is the responsibility of the donor to submit correct receipts to Inland Revenue Department for any tax credit rebate.
