Donations Scheme
Waitaki Boys' High School has opted into the Ministry of Education’s donations scheme. This supports students’ right to a free education. The donations scheme covers most curriculum costs such as text books and work books. The school is still allowed to charge for some non-curriculum related costs such as a sports tournament. Please click on this link if you would like to read more or email [email protected] if you have any questions about how the donations scheme works at our school.
