2026 donations scheme

The Ministry of Education uses the equity index (EQI) system as its funding model. Rolleston College is eligible to opt in to the donations scheme.  

The donations scheme lessens the financial burden on our parent/caregiver community, so it was a no-brainer for us and in 2024 the Rolleston College Board chose to continue to opt in to the scheme. There will still be items that need to be paid for.

So what does this mean for our school community? Opting into the donations scheme each year means the money we receive goes directly into supporting our learners. 

Some items are exempt from this scheme. These include:

  • Classroom take-home component: where parents have agreed to purchase (e.g., letterbox, item of clothing).

  • Overnight school/kura camps: we can only ask you to donate if it is for an overnight school/kura camp, and then you can choose if you want to pay none, some or all of the donation. If you choose not to donate, your child will be able to attend a camp if it is part of the school's core learning programme (curriculum). 

  • Extracurricular activities including sports, performing arts and cultural activities: if your learner is involved in after-school or weekend sports teams or after-hours cultural activities, these are optional. If you choose for your child to participate, you will be asked to cover the costs of these activities.

  • Stationery items: where parents buy stationery items from the school/kura stationery shop. 

  • Workbooks: optional workbooks that parents have agreed to purchase.

  • Photocopying/printing: for personal or extra-curricular purposes.

  • Non-compulsory hardware or software.

  • Tertiary courses: via a dual enrolment at a tertiary institution.

  • School magazines/yearbooks.

  • The school formal or ball.
