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 2023 we used fundraising money for new matting for the senior playground. This was significantly supported with two grants 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.
