Finance to meet the yearly operating costs of the school comes principally from school fees and State and Commonwealth recurrent grants.

Seventh-day Adventist churches in Sydney also make a contribution to the Wahroonga Adventist School, based upon their membership and the number of students who attend their church. Tax deductibility is available for contributions to this allocation and the monies raised are used for the provision and maintenance of school buildings. Tax     deductibility is also available to contributions made to the Wahroonga School Building Fund. Please enquire at the school office.
