The money raised is used for the modernisation of our classrooms – such as the upgrading of Rooms 6 and 7. Works like these are considered to be capital projects; ones that enhance and improve our school property. Our school property is owned by the Archdiocese of Wellington. Our expenditure on the modernisation of school buildings qualifies for a special “top-up” from the Wellington Archdiocese. The project must relate to existing integrated school buildings, involve major maintenance or modernisation of existing integrated school buildings over $5,000 and are identified on the school’s 10 year plan. In 2020 we used the fundraising money for a new fitness run near the courts. This was topped up by a grant outside of the Wellington Archdiocese.

Fundraisers usually include: 

1.     Small fundraisers​ – Pizza lunches, Roti sales etc.  Raising $1,000 to $2,000.
2.    A Term 2 fundraiser -​ Sometimes an Athon (Spell-athon, Fact-athon) or a Pub Quiz at the 1841. Raising around $4,000 to $10,000.
3.    The School Fair​ – It raises the bulk of the funds, usually over $20,000.  We hold mufti days during the term to support some of our stalls, support the cake stall with a baked cake and each classroom sponsors a stall. We require a number of volunteers to help on the day or to run stalls.
