School donation and
subject costs
Mount Albert Grammar School is a high achieving state funded school. The state funding that we receive covers only a basic education. As a result, we are reliant on parent contributions to help us provide the quality education our students deserve. Parental donations to the school and the compulsory course costs for your child’s subjects help us to achieve this.
The school donation requested in 2025 is $525 for the first child and for a second child at MAGS, it is $190. The third child or more is free (family maximum of $715).
School donations are tax deductible.
Compulsory course costs (equipment costs and subject fees) are critical to support the adequate delivery of the New Zealand Curriculum and NCEA. Equipment costs are subject to GST.
We appreciate families’ attention to this area of importance to the school. Please find at right details of our Finance Office opening hours and payment options.
Lockers for 2025
Locker prices = $65 per year for a standard locker, or $100 for a sports locker (hockey/cricket etc). Once your online order has been received and processed, you will receive a payment request via Kindo, and, following payment, you will receive your locker number. Students are required to supply their own padlocks.

Information Evenings for Prospective Students
Mount Albert Grammar School holds two Information Evenings each year rather than Open Days.
These are pencilled in for 7pm on Wednesday, May 7 and Tuesday, May 13, 2025 for students intending to come to MAGS the following year.
These two evenings held each year are primarily for Year 8s who live in-zone. Out-of-zone applicants can also attend.
The evenings include a visual presentation about the school for prospective Year 9 students, and there is enrolment procedure information and the opportunity to ask questions about the academic, sporting, service, arts and cultural opportunities at the school.
