Did you know you can claim one third of this back? We've helped thousands of parents just like you get back their school donation rebate, easily, quickly and online. We can get lost receipts for you too!
To date we've refunded over $700,000 to Kiwi parents and know that there are millions still to go.
Watch the video below to see how it works.
Here is what happy parents have had to say:
"Many thanks!! The refund is now in my account!! Thank you for making this process so easy and straightforward!!"
"Wow that's fantastic. You guys rock!! Excellent service, really wrapped with that. Thanks so much :-) will totally spread the word."
Check out our Frequently Asked Questions. We'd love to help you next.

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Sadly when people don’t have any need for roosters they do sometimes just dump them. We’ve had a call about a couple of roosters or chickens who have made their home at the roundabout at Riverstone Terraces.

They’ve been there for a while and have a pretty good set up as some in the community are looking after them. However we can’t really leave them there and do need to do something with them due to health and safety concerns. They look in pretty good shape but we do know the community is split about them being there.
Obviously we want to rehome them first, rather than have to humanly kill them, so if anyone could adopt them please do private message us urgently. Rather than just dumping these animals we hope that in the future people do try to rehome them themselves over social media or through animal groups in the first instance.
