Ruru La Chouette families are invited join FRENZ a parent-led association which supports New Zealand schools with French bilingual classes by supplying resources, arranging for French teacher aides or "stagieaires" (French speaking volunteers) and providing a network for bilingual families to belong to. FRENZ also subsidises the cost of providing extra teaching staff in Ruru La Chouette which allows numbers in the class to be kept low.
As a state school, domestic students are entitled to free enrolment and free education at Ridgway School, including for Ruru La Chouette (French Bilingual Programme). The school does, however, request that Ruru La Chouette families support the work of FRENZ by becoming members and contributing a voluntary donation of $500 per child per year to cover the additional costs of providing the programme.
