 Attendance Dues

Attendance Dues are a compulsory payment under the terms of the Education and Training Act 2020 and a condition of enrolment at Liston College. Attendance Dues are charged for all students who attend Catholic Schools in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Attendance Dues are used to repay loans for building works done at schools in the Auckland Diocese & property related costs including building works, insurance & the costs directly associated with the administration of attendance dues.

Liston College collects these dues on behalf of the school’s proprietor, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Auckland & forwards them to Auckland Common Fund Ltd, a company established by the proprietors of Catholic integrated schools in the Diocese of Auckland.

Attendance Dues for the 2025 school year:

Years 7-8              $532.00 including GST ($133 per term)

Years 9-13             $1,080.00 including GST ($270 per term)

Attendance dues can be paid in full at the beginning of the school year, per term or by regular instalment.

Special Catholic Character Contributions

The Catholic Special Character contribution is a voluntary donation of $15.00 per term ($60.00 per annum) per student. This contribution provides the main source of funding for all services provided to Liston College by the Catholic Education Services Board. No contributions are made by the Government for these services. The Catholic Education Services Board assists schools to provide a Catholic education for your child through the preservation and enhancement of the Catholic Special Character in our schools.
