Financial support for Hawthorn is essential to cover the school’s operating costs and to provide for the future growth of the school, and all parents are expected to contribute in keeping with their means. Gifts may be made directly to the Hawthorn Foundation. Income tax receipts are issued for all donations made to the Foundation and to the school.
