Aroha Discovery School is being developed as a private school. There are a lot of costs to set this up including rent, insurance, pay for teachers/staff, equipment, and general operational costs. There is minimal support from the government (once established we would only get $1000 per child each year). Likewise, most grants we can apply for have the specific requirement that the funds are not used for operational costs. That means we need to find a way to pay staff and bills on our own. We want Aroha Discovery School to be accessible to everyone in the community and we don’t want money to be a barrier to that.

Your donation will go towards setup and operational costs. If you choose to become a supporter your ongoing contribution will help us keep school fees low, allowing our school to be more accessible to the wider community.

Note: We are a registered charity and your donation is tax deductible.
