Attendance Dues
Attendance Dues are a compulsory payment under the terms of the Education and Training Act 2020 and a condition of enrolment at St Paul’s School, Massey. Attendance Dues are charged for all students who attend Catholic Schools in New Zealand.
Attendance Dues are used to repay loans for building works done at schools in the Auckland Diocese, property related costs including school building works, buildings insurance and costs directly associated with the administration of attendance dues.

integrated schools in the Diocese of Auckland responsible for the collection of Attendance Dues.
