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.

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