Proprietors Contribution: $715 per year

This contribution allows us to retain areas of the College used by all the students and which are over and above the Ministry of Education entitlement e.g. the chapel, auditorium, squash courts, pavilion, old gym, common rooms, etc., and any other purposes and activities which the Board of Proprietors may specify.


Heritage Contribution: $560 per year

This contribution assists the Silverstream Board of Proprietors in ensuring the preservation of our Heritage in terms of buildings, land, and equipment for current and future generations of Streamers to use and enjoy.




Activities Contribution: $530 per year

The Activity contribution is a contribution to assist in meeting some of the costs of our sports programmes, extensive sports grounds, facilities and resources, cultural activities, prizegiving expenses, Religious Education resources and programmes, and any other purpose that the Board of Trustees may specify and is not met by the Ministry of Education.


ADW Catholic Character Donation: $50 per year

The Archdiocese of Wellington requests a $50 donation from families to assist with delivering services that support the Catholic Special Character within our school. Your contribution will help fund professional development, advisory services, and support provided by the Catholic Schools Education Services (CSES) within the Archdiocese of Wellington.


Old Boys Levy: $30 per year

This levy is passed directly to the St Patrick’s College Old Boys' Association and, if paid for five years, entitles your son to lifetime membership of the Association.


Course Contributions: Varies

These contributions enable us to deliver the curriculum over and above our operational funding.  The amounts for each subject are itemised and help to cover compulsory workbooks and other resources which the students may keep or use at home.


Sports Fees: Varies

Sport at the College is a self-funding extracurricular activity, and therefore, sport fees must be paid to enable a student to participate.  The College operates a 'no pay, no play' policy with regards to sport.  Sport fees vary depending on the code and the level of participation by the student.  The fees include the cost of team uniforms, hiring of facilities, and the payment of third-party registration fees.  

Additionally, participation in national competitions involves the cost of travel and accommodation, which requires parental/guardian funding. The College aims to keep the cost to participants as low as possible through team fundraising and securing sponsorship and charitable grants.


Voluntary Purchases

These fees are payable where students have chosen to participate in optional activities or purchase optional resources/materials.  This includes music lessons, the Blue & White magazine, extra- curricular activities (eg. junior dances, senior ball, graduation supper, Duke of Edinburgh award), optional workbooks, optional school trips.
