Origin and Purpose

The Trust was established on 1st April 1967 under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 to promote and assist the advancement of the education of pupils of Christchurch Boys’ High School. It administers a General Fund raised initially by an appeal in 1971 and Special Funds established by gifts and bequests.

The General Fund enables the school to meet expenses and to purchase equipment and facilities which would not have been provided by the Government. The quality and diversity of the resources of the school owe much to the contributions from Te Kura Trust.

Capital items which have been funded wholly or in part by the Trust include Te Kura gymnasium, assembly hall seating, computers, overhead projectors, audio-visual equipment, library books and magazines, science and mathematics equipment, all weather athletic track, works of art, the new library and in this last financial year a new suite of computers.
