Te Totara Primary School - Growing and Learning Together


How to Get Rewards for our School

Listed below are companies that provide rewards for our school, and the promotional information they have provided.  

Telecom is part of scheme called "payroll giving".  Details about Telecom's scheme are below, however if you are employed by a large company please ask if they also run the scheme.  It involves the company matching your voluntary parent donation to the school, dollar-for-dollar.

If you know of any other companies that offer rewards to schools then please let us know - executiveofficer@tetotara.school.nz.

Telecom Employees

Are you a Telecom employee?

Telecom matches, dollar-for-dollar, donations to schools (up to a cap of $1,000 per Telecom employee) made through payroll giving.

Te Totara Primary School was one of 323 New Zealand schools that benefited from Telecom employee and matching donations last year and hope to benefit this year as well.

Payroll giving donations allow donors to access the immediate 33% tax credit available on donations to organisations with IRD done status, therefore it can’t be used as a way to pay compulsory fees. It does, however, apply to our Voluntary Parent Donation.

So, if you are a Telecom employee, please ask you payroll officer about how you go about nominating our school to receive, dollar-for-dollar the amount you pay in your Voluntary Parent Donation.
