School Contribution $75, $150, $250

All State schools operate on grants received from the Government. The major portion of this funding covers general operating costs, wages and maintenance.

Pasadena Intermediate School generates further income through trading activities, hire of facilities and fund raising.

The above, however, does not extend to providing all the resources for, and for implementing all the components of our Enhanced Curriculum Programme.

The school believes the components of this Programme are vital to best meet the needs of the students and accordingly, parents/caregivers are invited to make a contribution to these costs.

A graduated scale of School Contributions is offered, allowing parents/caregivers to make an appropriate donation according to their ability.

The School Contribution may be paid at the time of enrolment. A receipt that is suitable for claiming tax exemption will be issued.
