School donations are no longer being requested as we are signed up to the Ministry Donation Replacement Scheme.
You can still make a voluntary donation if you want to - it's just that we are NOT asking you to.
This is an email message from a mum who still chose to make a donation.
Natalie paid the donation as a token of gratitude. I thanked her sincerely and this is her reply…
You are most welcome Ash.  
It's really only a token gesture / drop in the bucket when you consider that your team are charged with raising and educating my daughter for around 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 39 weeks a year (that's over a 1,000 hours).  My donation amounts to around 10c a day which really is ludicrous given the top education she is getting from WHS.
But I stand by my comments about the WHS staff.  They (and you) really are amazing and there's no one else I'd rather have helping to shape her during these formative years.
