DNI closed Friday 6 March - Teacher Only Day Reminder - We're closed for instruction this Friday, 6 March, for a Curriculum Teacher only day.
Student Accounts Statements of school accounts are emailed out at the start of each month, and first ones will be sent home later today. These will include any charges for sports, music lessons, and any other extracurricular activities your child is signed up for. Please note that not all music lessons are charged through school as some are paid directly to the music teachers. Group Guitar, Woodwind, Strings, and Brass lessons are paid to the school and will appear on school statements.
The statements also show any payments already made and the balance on the account. There is a School Donation of $90 per family plus a Modules cost of $130 per student for take home materials across the year and these will also appear on your statements. We don't send invoices for any items added to the school account across the year. All charges will be shown on the monthly statements.
There are two kinds of payments that will appear on student statements: donations or contributions, such as the School Donation and Camp Contribution; and charges, such as sports registration fees, Electives costs, and music lesson fees.
The donations are optional and can be removed at your request if you feel your whanau is going to be unable to make any payment towards these over the school year.
The charges are not optional and you will usually have signed something agreeing to pay this cost.
We are more than happy to discuss payment plans for any costs and charges on your child's school account. Email charlottem@dni.school.nz to discuss this.
Payments can be made via the school bank account - details are on the school website and at the bottom of every statement sent. We also can accept cash and EFTPOS at the school office; we don't have paywave/credit card facilities.
