PNBHS Education Trust

Palmerston North Boys' High School Educational Foundation Trust

What is this Trust?

It is a fund which receives contributions from those who wish to contribute and become members. The trust committee constantly seeks to increase the capital base and to invest wisely to ensure maximum returns are secured. The objectives of the trust are to maximize the benefits and opportunities available to all pupils of the school and to promote and expand the educational, cultural, sporting and recreational amenities which are or could be available to the school.

How does the School Benefit?

The income from the trust fund will be directly applied in supporting students and the school in the areas of sport, culture and academia which (through lack of finance) may not otherwise be possible.

By involving parents, old boys, teachers and local business people as Trustees it is hoped that the Trust will make full use of local facilities and know-how an engender within the community, and interest in the development of the school and the continuing advancement and employment of its pupils

There is also an opportunity, where appropriate for the Trust to financially assist in certain targeted staffing.

Membership

Contributions in the form of donations, bequests or subscriptions are applied to the Trust Fund which, through wise investment, will provide an ever increasing source of income to fund growth and improvement projects for the benefit of the School in accordance with the objectives of the Trust.

Apart from personal satisfaction derived from having contributed, even in a small way, to the School and its pupils, contributing members are entitled to tax deductions in respect of their donations in money or money's worth.
