Attendance Dues
Attendance Dues are a compulsory charge made by the Proprietor (Property owner) of an Integrated School, in agreement with the Ministry of Education, to cover the costs of Capital Development. This money is used to pay for land and building purchase, and repayment of loans used to develop the buildings used by the school. This funding is only used for the development of the facilities which the school uses. The Proprietor of Renew School is Christian Renewal Trust.
Terms and Conditions
- Attendance Dues are incurred for every day of your child’s enrolment.
- An invoice for the total amount of Attendance Dues is issued to parent(s) / caregiver(s) at the start of the school year or when the new student(s) starts classes. Where there is more than one child attending, only one invoice is issued and assigned to the eldest child. This invoice covers all the children. This is to enable the correct Attendance Dues rate to be applied.
- Payment of Attendance Dues is required to be kept at least one month in advance while the student/s are enrolled in the school. On leaving Renew School a final amount will be calculated and, where applicable, any over payment will be refunded.
- Parent(s) / caregiver(s) who have not paid their current year’s Attendance Dues by 31st December may be required to reapply for enrolment in following year unless there is a payment plan in place and approved by the Proprietor.
- Statements will be provided to the parent(s) / caregiver(s) covering ten months of the school year. The first arriving in March. These statements will show all payments made to the school including Attendance Dues. Statements are also available to view using our student management system, “Edge”.
- In the event that a parent / caregiver who has accepted the responsibility for the education of a child, has entered into an agreement to pay attendance dues and fails to do so, the balance owing, and all debt collection costs are recoverable from the parent/caregiver by Christian Renewal Trust’s nominated debt collection agency. In addition, a failure to make payment constitutes grounds for the principal of the school to suspend the child from attendance at that school and to remove the child’s name from the school register.
If hardship prevents you from keeping attendance dues' payments current, please contact our accounts department right away: admin@renew.school.nz

Parent(s)/caregiver(s) must complete an agreement with Renew School Proprietor’s Trust, accepting responsibility to pay the attendance dues in order to enrol their child/ren at Renew school. This needs to be signed by both parents/caregivers and submitted to the school along with your pre-enrolment application. The school will forward the completed forms to our Administrators who will process the forms upon confirmation of placement.

Preferred payment is by automatic payment through your Bank. Automatic payment forms are available at reception and should be submitted 10 days before your child’s start date. Attendance Dues can be paid in advance via Eftpos or cash at reception, if desired.

Special Character Donation
As an integrated school, the Ministry of Education allows us to integrate our Christian special character through all aspects of our school’s operation and curriculum.
However, not all aspects of this, including resources and professional development, are funded by the Ministry of Education.
The proprietor, therefore, encourages parents to make a tax-deductible donation of $80 per student per year ($20 per student per term). Please use account number 03-0497-0298016-00 for the transaction, and provide your child's name and 'Special Character' as reference.
The Special Character Donation will be used specifically to deliver and nurture the Christian faith of our students, developing in them a biblical worldview, with corresponding values and standards.
Payment of the proprietor’s Special Character Donation qualifies for a donations tax credit and the qualifying receipt for this will be issued by the Proprietor at the end of the tax year.
