The Geraldine High School (GHS) Foundation would like your support!!

Welcome to the GHS Foundation, a trust established in 1998 to assist in furthering the education of students attending GHS. The foundation provides support to GHS through various strategic projects and programmes using volunteer services and funds raised through generous donations from past pupils, local businesses and community groups. 

The foundation is charged with prudently managing these funds and allocating monies to trustee approved projects that are not funded by the Ministry of Education or GHS operational grant budgets.  

Some of the key projects the foundation has supported are: 

• Renovations to the library 

• Transport assets – school car & mini van 

• Garage to house the school car & trailers 

• Developing a year 7 & 8 playground 

• Purchasing speakers for the assembly hall 

• Upgrading the Hauora/Wellbeing centre 

The financial contributions to these projects with GHS to date is over $120,000. The foundation, in conjunction with GHS, is working on more strategic projects that will further benefit GHS pupils. 

In order to continue to deliver strategic projects and increase the resources available, the foundation is seeking additional support from past students and the local community. This support can be provided in various forms such as: 

• Volunteering/Mentoring – past students or businesses may have a particular skill/qualification that current students are keen on pursuing. Donations of time or resources to help these students are always gratefully accepted. 

• Financial contributions – the foundation is a registered Donee organization. Depending on the tax status of the donor, donations may be eligible to attract tax credits. 

The GHS Foundation will welcome any contribution you are able to make to help benefit GHS pupils. Please email us at ghsfoundation@geraldinehs.school.nz. 

With the aim to foster social connections with GHS and friends, and to help expand the involvement in its strategic goals, the foundation is working on the development of an alumni database of past pupils.  

Please join the alumni by emailing alumni@geraldinehs.school.nz and join our group on facebook Geraldine High School Alumni.
