School Contributions

School Contributions:

We ask all those in our school community to make a contribution to help us deliver the opportunities that we believe all our students deserve.

WHY DO WE ASK FOR CONTRIBUTIONS?

Our government operational grant aims to provide a solid basic education for all of our students. However, it does not cover the cost of providing the broader, richer programme of learning that offers our students opportunities, resources and an overall education that goes beyond the basics. With an Equity Index of 381 our Government funding is considerably less than a higher Equity Index school receives (in fact it is $1/student that we receive). We hope this information helps you to understand just how important your contribution is!

Your contributions help to provide additional staffing, learning support and additional resources and experiences for our students.

We do have a 'wish list' of capital works items such as more shade sails, outdoor seating, creating a larger bike and scooter parking area, landscaping for the new studios and a senior playground (Mrs Kidd is really passionate about a Ninja Warrior course being installed, unfortunately this is estimated at $130,000). These all require additional funds that we need to raise by other means. This is achieved primarily through fundraising initiatives by our wonderful FoHPS group (who are always looking for people to help out, offer ideas, etc. - fohps@hp.school.nz) and hireage of our school hall, Library and STEAM space to outside providers such as KAS and Bricks4Kids.

RECOGNISING DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES

If your family finds the level of requested contribution difficult, we understand this and would appreciate any amount you feel you can afford. You can make your contributions each term, paying $62.50 each term can make this much easier for families.

Equally, your contribution isn’t limited to the amount suggested and any additional donation is much appreciated, as this further enhances the learning opportunities and school experience for our students! We have set up another option 'Generous Donations' if you would like to contribute more.

Your financial support is a valuable contribution to our ability to offer an exciting learning programme memorable experiences that encourage a love of learning for all our children, along with strong achievement outcomes. We can’t emphasise enough the important difference that your school contributions make to what our school is able to offer.

HOW CAN WE CONTRIBUTE?

The amount requested at Hingaia Peninsula school is $250 per student/year.

The easiest way is to make payment through our online shop - payment portal, Kindo. Alternatively please ask at the office for an invoice and bank account details. You can receive a receipt for this so that you can claim the tax back.

Thank you for your contribution to support us so that we can continue to make sure learning is awesome at HPS!
