Donations

Maraetai Beach School is a Decile 10 school. As such, we receive the lowest possible level of funding from the Government to run our school.  The Government currently funds schools (decile 1 – 7) $150 per student in lieu of seeking parent donations.  Maraetai Beach School does not qualify for this as we are a decile 10.  Maraetai Beach School does rely on donations to ensure the schools’ finances and resources work in the best possible way and we can continue to deliver a high quality education for every child. Your donation forms a vital part of the finance plan, included in our budget and resource allocations for the 2021 school year.

Receipts will be issued for all donations so that you can claim back the tax if you wish.

Here is the donation structure:

Examples of where the school allocates your donation include (but are not limited to):

• Funding of additional teaching staff not funded by the Ministry of Education to keep our class sizes low
• Extra funding of Learning Assistants not funded by the Ministry of Education, to assist all students including those with learning and support needs
• Funding of additional support and extension programmes not funded by the Ministry of Education
• Maintenance and operation of our school pool which is not funded by the Ministry of Education
• Curriculum resourcing to ensure the best for our students
• Digital Technology equipment including resources for our robotics programme

In order to provide the best possible opportunities for our children the Board sincerely hopes that they can rely on your continued support and payment of the school donation.
