We believe that all students should have the same opportunities and should not be disadvantaged by costs. 

Roslyn School currently supplies

The Board of Trustees would like to continue to support our families with:

• No school donation requests 

• No cost for stationary (School Stationery will be supplied to our students)

• Providing Chrome books for our students' learning in Years 5-8
  (though we continue to encourage students to BYOD (Bring your own device)

• Providing Chrome books for our students' learning in Years 3-4 (He Kākano) (ratio of 1 chrome book between two students)

• Paying fees for school based sports teams and providing uniforms for these (please note that sports through clubs is not included in this.)

Sadly, we can not afford to cover all costs.  This means there may be times when we ask for support from our families for an upcoming event, which our kids are often keen to join.  There will also be fundraising opportunities and we also provide a Variety Lunch Fundraiser twice a term as a treat but also to help with the costs associated with EOTC, Camps or class trips. 

It's important to note that club sports are catered for through a club, with students from lots of different schools in the same team, and the club does all the organisation.  This means that your child is playing for and representing the club, not our school.  For example, If your child wishes to play Cricket, Rugby or Rugby League, then this is provided by clubs and parents will need to attend and register tamariki with the club to play - and the club will set its own fees, expectation and rules for this.  These are not fees set by the school and so we cannot cover these fees for students or your whānau.

We are always looking at ways and means to provide the best opportunities and experiences for our students.  By undertaking this  'Almost ZERO fees' approach, we hope our students will continue to not be disadvantaged in any way in their learning, opportunities and experiences.   

Of course we would appreciate any support, either financially or by volunteering your skills and time, to support our wonderful students, your tamariki on their learning journey.  We do as much fundraising throughout the year as possible, without it becoming a burden on our families.  We look forward to your ongoing support. 

We look forward to having you as part of the Roslyn School hapori (community) and look forward to the exciting developments to come.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.
