The Ministry of Education offers generous boarding allowances for secondary school students. However, it is best to obtain up-to-date information directly from the Ministry of Education website with regard to these boarding allowances, due to the Ministry changing eligibility criteria from time to time.
The Prime Minister’s Vocational Excellence Award, with a $2000 cash prize, is available to be awarded to the top vocational student in every school and wharekura throughout New Zealand each year.
Grants normally cover uniform, stationery, footwear and other expenses.
Due to donor support NPBHS can, from time to time, offer a limited number of BTE Grants each year for:
- Any student already enrolled at NPBHS; and
- Any student that will contribute positively to the school and is the example; and/or
- Any student where cost is a significant barrier to the student attending NPBHS.
The criteria and the application process is available from the Headmaster’s EA.
