Have a Positive Impact on School & Students
Did you once get somewhere in life because you received the support you deserved to achieve your dreams? Now YOU can help change the lives of boys, and reward them for their hard-earned excellence.
A passionate community surrounds Christchurch Boys’ High School. Old Boys, parents and supporters. You have been moulded by your association with Boys’ High. Now is your opportunity to contribute to the School and leave your mark on its legacy.
Your generosity will provide much-needed financial support to the school and its students. Choose to support either the General Fund (school facilities and equipment) or Special Fund (student scholarships and prizes) through donations or a bequest.
The
General
Fund
By supporting the General Fund you’ll help provide the very best quality environment for students to learn and succeed. Buildings and facilities that serve people – students, staff and the wider community.
The General Fund enables Boys’ High to purchase capital items, equipment and facilities not provided by the Government. Over the years all aspects of school life have benefited, including the Wilson Library, Adams House, the performing and visual arts, sport, The Deans Buildings, classroom equipment, computers, and assembly hall seating.
Help develop men who can lead not only Christchurch, but New Zealand, and the world to be a better place.
Special
Funds
Support students to reach their full potential and make a difference in the world. Each year the Te Kura Special Funds provides a range of scholarships and bursaries to students for study while at Christchurch Boys’ High, and as they take their next step into tertiary study.
With your help we can provide opportunities for every boy to realise his potential by providing every boy access to co-curricular sporting, cultural and academic activities regardless of the financial situation of his family and whanau.
Help us fulfil the school’s mission of educating fine young men towards outstanding achievement.

The Peter England and Family Community Relations Award was established by Peter England in 2014. The award is to encourage excellence and the development of Community Leaders from amongst the students of Christchurch Boys’ High School who have the potential to go and make a positive difference to both Christchurch and New Zealand (including community service abroad in developing countries), having regard to the promotion of purposes of the New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993 and its regulations and amendments or any enactment in the substitution thereof (this includes the Race Relations Commission) and prevention of violence and drug use minimisation may also be taken into account.
Without limiting the purposes for which applications may be made, volunteer service abroad through recognised organisations, youth leadership programmes and support to participate in general community service activities will be considered. Preference will be given to Adams House students, though any student in the school may apply. Awards may be for a period of time during which the awardee is a student of the school, or to facilitate these purposes, for some period of time in the year immediately following the student’s leaving school. The award may be extended for longer if the funds are available.
Application Process
Students may apply at any time of the year by submitting an application form to the Headmaster. The application form is here or you can obtain it from the Headmaster’s Executive Assistant at the School Office. If the Headmaster deems the application is worthy of further consideration he will call a meeting of the Award Committee. The Award Committee may wish to interview the applicant or may make a decision based on the documentation provided.
The Awards Committee will have approximately $7,000 per annum available for distribution.
