Finance

Pompallier Catholic College is committed to providing your children with resources and activities which will enhance learning opportunities.

Our Board have opted in to the Government ‘School Donation Scheme’ for the 2026 year.  Being part of this scheme means that there are curriculum-related donations that we cannot ask for.  The college is still able to request donations towards overnight camps.  There will also be compulsory charges for take-home items in technology and arts classes, and for activities such as sports, extra-curricular, and school retreats and trips.  There is no change to the Attendance Dues portion of the account, which is compulsory and collected on behalf of the school’s Proprietor.

• We have moved to Kindo as a method of payment for all Pompallier Catholic College charges.  If you have not set up for Kindo payments yet, please click here for further information and instructions.
• Invoices due to the Catholic Diocese of Auckland – Attendance Dues and the Special Character donation – are paid directly to the Diocese through the college ASB Bank account.

 

Kindo – Payment of Pompallier Catholic College Charges

Charges will be set up on Kindo for the following items.  All of these charges must be made via Kindo.  We will no longer be accepting payments for any of these items through the college office or bank account:

• Pompallier Catholic College Building Development Fund
• Marist Network Levy
• Student ID Cards
• Sports, camps, music, take home components from Technology classes, and other activities

 

Payment of Auckland Diocese Charges

An invoice from the college on behalf of the Catholic Diocese of Auckland will be emailed to families for charges for the Attendance Dues and Special Character donation (statements are also sent monthly).

These charges must be paid directly to the college through our Pompallier Catholic College ASB account: 12-3099-0758068-00.  Please quote your child’s 5-digit student ID number in the payment reference.

Payment of this account may be made in full, or by regular automatic payments throughout the year.  If you would like assistance in determining a payment schedule, please feel free to contact Jane Woolston in our college office (details below).  The Attendance Dues must be paid in full by the end of the school year.

Explanation of the Catholic Diocese of Auckland Charges:

Attendance Dues

Attendance Dues are a compulsory payment under the terms of the Education and Training Act 2020, and a condition of enrolment at Pompallier Catholic College.  Attendance Dues are charged for all students who attend Catholic Schools in New Zealand.

Attendance Dues are used to repay loans for building works done at schools in the Auckland Diocese, property related costs including school building works, buildings insurance and costs directly associated with the administration of Attendance Dues.

Attendance Dues are collected by Pompallier Catholic College on behalf of the school’s Proprietor, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland. The Attendance Dues collected by Pompallier Catholic College are forwarded to Auckland Common Fund Limited, a company established by the Proprietors of Catholic integrated schools in the Diocese of Auckland responsible for the collection of Attendance Dues.

Attendance Dues can be paid in full at the beginning of the school year, per term, or by regular installment.  Once a student commences a term, Attendance Dues will be payable for the whole term, even if that student should leave during the term.

Attendance Dues payable for the 2026 year are:  Year 7 – 8 : $136.00 per term ($544.00 per year) including GST.  Year 9 – 13 : $281.00 per term ($1,124.00 per year) including GST.

Information on Parent / Caregiver responsibilities for the payment of Attendance Dues can be found here.

Financial assistance is available to assist families who may need financial support with the payment of Attendance Dues for preference students attending both primary and secondary Catholic schools in Auckland Diocese.  Families facing financial difficulties can contact their school office, their Parish Priest, or Auckland Common Fund Ltd at the Catholic Diocese of Auckland on 09 360 3040 for further information.  Application forms for this assistance are available from school and parish offices, or can be downloaded from the Catholic Diocese of Auckland website.

Further information and/or assistance is also available from the school office (phone 09 438 3950 ext 0).

Special Catholic Character Contributions

The Catholic Special Character contribution is a voluntary donation of $17.50 per term ($70.00 per annum) per student. 

This contribution provides the main source of funding for all services provided to Pompallier Catholic College by the Catholic Education Services Board.  No contributions are made by the Government for these services.

The Catholic Education Services Board assists schools to provide a Catholic education for your child through the preservation and enhancement of the Catholic Special Character in our schools.
