School Donation and Fees

The school cannot meet its financial commitments and maintain its current standards. Consequently the school has set fees that you should feel obliged to pay to enable it to implement the curriculum. These fees as set out below are to be paid by 5th March 2010.

There are additional fees for those students in the following classes. These are mandatory and are a condition of entry.

STATIONERY

Tauranga Intermediate School has joined the Easishop selling system. At the commencement of each year every child is issued with a pack of books and required stationery, for a set cost. This allows uniformity, with all students in the school having the same books. Parents have found the system most satisfactory and 90% take advantage of the system. We encourage all parents to purchase the pack. They are competitive price wise with the local retailers. Any profits go towards school needs. Cheaper books purchased at other low cost retail outlets have proved not satisfactory, poor value and fragile.
