Attendance Dues are a compulsory payment under the terms of the Education and Training Act 2020 and a condition of enrolment at St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College.   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.  

Attendance Dues are collected by St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College on behalf of the school’s Proprietor, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland. The attendance dues collected by St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College are forwarded to Auckland Common Fund Limited, a company established by the proprietors of Catholic integrated schools in the Diocese of Auckland, responsible for the collection of attendance dues. 

Attendance Dues payable for 2026 school year: 

Secondary

Attendance Dues can be paid in full at the beginning of the school year, per term or by regular instalment. Please note that paying in full at the end of the year is not an available option.
