Marsden Boards
Marsden is part of the Anglican Diocese of Wellington. These are the trustees and members of our boards.
Our Board sets fees at the lowest possible level to cover costs without eroding the high standards of tuition and facilities for which Marsden has become known. The Board reserves the right to vary fees at its discretion. All fees are stated in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of Goods and Services Tax of 15%.
All applications require a non-refundable fee of $150. If your application is successful, we will offer your daughter/son a place.
A non-refundable acceptance fee of $500 is payable on enrolment.
NB: New students enrolling in Preschool are not required to pay this fee.

Additional costs are charged for incidental items such as class trips, photographs, Marsden Yearbook (Te Kura), sports activities, outdoor education and specialist subject costs.
A 20% discount on tuition fees is available to families for the third and youngest child when all are current students at Marsden (excluding Preschool and International students).
For further details please contact our Chief Operating Officer, Hilary Fiennes.
We recognise and humbly acknowledge that members of the Marsden community are our greatest ambassadors. Research has shown that the predominant reason influencing the decision families make to send their daughters to Marsden is the recommendation of parents of students, past and present, and alumnae of the school. In gratitude for this, the Board is pleased to announce the continuation of our referral scheme in 2025 and will provide a $500 fee reduction on the fourth term's fees in 2026 for Marsden families who refer other families from their networks to attend Marsden in 2025 or 2026. Families joining Marsden as a result of a referral from a current Marsden family will receive uniform vouchers to the value of $500.
Referral Scheme Terms and Conditions
The Board has also agreed to a 2% early payment discount for parents of students in Years 1-13 who pay the annual fees in full on or before 31 January 2025.
Fees are billed quarterly and disbursements (if any) are billed monthly. These are payable on receipt of invoice, by monthly automatic payment or annually in advance.
We have the flexibility to work with individual families experiencing challenges in relation to our fees. Please contact our Chief Operating Officer, Hilary Fiennes to arrange a confidential conversation.
