WHAT WE DO.
Working closely with Principal Steve Hall and the Board of Trustees, we provide WHS with additional funding to ensure a world-class education offering to all our students. We fund a range of initiatives annually which enables WHS to drive high academic, sporting, and arts achievement, assists students who are experiencing financial hardship to fully participate in educational and extra-curricular opportunities as well as supporting the wellbeing of our school community.
WHY WE SUPPORT WHS.
We believe as the only secondary school in Queenstown, WHS is truly one of the most valuable assets in our community.
Our support is integral in enabling WHS to offer a quality, holistic education that meets the needs of all students in the Wakatipu Basin. Our support allows WHS to increase the amount of teaching and learning resources available to all students as well as supporting a vast range of extracurricular activities. It is through the generosity of our business partners, parents, alumni and the wider Queenstown community that our students continue to thrive in academic, cultural, and sporting endeavours. WHS consistently yields outstanding academic results and 2019 saw WHS benchmarked number two out of 187 state co-ed schools in key academic qualifications.
