THANKS

From the Head of Development • Bridget Woodham As I look out the window from my office on the upper floor of Te Koraha, I spy the leaves on a grand old oak transforming from green to the golden autumnal hue we come to expect at this time of year. This very oak, a reminder of the generosity of generations past; a tree planted years before many of us were born by members of our Rangi Ruru whānau who would never get to sit under its leafy shade or see its matured glory.

Our unique educational environment and many of the facilities enjoyed by Rangi Ruru students today, exist thanks to individuals and families who have gone and given before. With the majority of the school’s tuition fees directed towards operational costs, Rangi Ruru relies on the support of its community to help ensure a sustainable future and so it is incredibly grateful for the foresight of past generations.

For the school to continue to develop and enrich the incredible environment and facilities bestowed upon it, ongoing support and new investment is always needed.

This report is an opportunity to formally acknowledge those who supported Rangi Ruru in the past 12 months. Many celebrated their love for Rangi Ruru through giving and I can tell you, our whole

community felt it. The support on our inaugural Giving Day blew our minds and truly reflected the special place Rangi Ruru holds in so many hearts.

The money raised from Giving Day will support the Project Blue Sky vision and the delivery of the sport and multi-purpose centre currently being built onsite. On page 8 you will get the low down on this amazing project, how it fits in the masterplan and how it will transform school life and benefit so many Rangi Ruru students for generations to come. There are still opportunities to be part of creating this new legacy for the school. If you would like to celebrate your family’s connection to the school and give to Project Blue Sky, please contact me on b.woodham@rangiruru.school.nz.

continued to stand strong alongside us. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support.

Please enjoy this celebration of giving and remember, when you support Rangi Ruru you not only support the Gibson sisters’ vision for a quality education for girls, but you also support the next generation of leaders, changemakers, artists, ecowarriors, dreamers, innovators and deal makers. A gift to Rangi Ruru is an in investment in its future, ensuring it remains the leading choice for independent girls’ education for generations to come.

We thank you for your continued belief in what Rangi Ruru does.

Ngā mihi

In this edition, we also celebrate our students’ exceptional generosity of spirit. Despite being in and out of lockdowns and facing all the challenges that accompany the pandemic wave we are all riding, our students still managed to clock an impressive 14,000 hours of community service collectively.

Furthermore, I would like to give thanks to our sponsor whānau who, despite might be feeling the economic impacts of Covid-19,

GIVING

BY NUMBERS

Rangi Ruru as it stands today is not only a testament to the vision of our founding Gibson sisters but also to the enormous generosity of past and present Rangi Ruru families — with each generation leaving a legacy for the next.

The School is constantly striving to build on the Gibson sisters’ vision, providing scholarship opportunities, delivering personalised learning programmes and providing the quality of buildings and facilities that match and support the exceptional education the girls receive. In 2021 the total gifts received to the school was

$771,966.92 The majority of these gifts were directed toward the build of the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre, the current stage of the Project Blue Sky masterplan.

In addition to celebrating gifts received, this report also celebrates the incredible giving that goes on within the school. Our students

continue to contribute positively to their communities through fundraising and service initiatives.

Rangi Ruru thanks all of those who have gifted to the school in 2021. It is through this generosity that our school continues to strive and keep to the vison of our founders.

FROM THE CHAIR A note from the Rangi Ruru Foundation

The Rangi Ruru Foundation was established in July 1995. The Board of Trustees comprises of seven professionals who are volunteers with a belief in the importance of education. In particular, Rangi Ruru’s offering and approach to girls’ education.

6

Globally, private secondary education is enhanced by donations or bequeaths from people who either have a personal connection to the institution or a belief in what the institution stands for. Obviously, schools such as Rangi Ruru use school fees to pay for the annual costs of providing education. The value of other contributions can been seen in the development of facilities to sustain and enhance Rangi Ruru’s outstanding learning environment that otherwise couldn’t be built by the collection of fees alone, as well as offering scholarship and bursary support for students.

The Foundation meets its obligations through its fiscal stewardship of donations and bequests given to the school. The Foundation currently manages over $3.6 million, and ensures these funds are maintained and used for the purpose for which they were given.

Last year, scholarships and bursaries totalling $33,000 were awarded to 11 students. Funding grants of $36,933 were approved to staff and student recipients.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 level restrictions cancelled some

sporting events where funding had been approved. It was tough for the students who were so willing and able to represent their school but denied the opportunity. This year will still challenge event organisers with omicron in the community and holding large events discouraged.

It was pleasing to see the investment markets in 2021 remain buoyant. However, many businesses have been affected by Covid through supply shortages, staffing restraints and meeting the government mandates. To see the school roll continue to grow in these trying times for families is testament to the excellent education offer of principal Dr Sandra Hastie and the staff at Rangi Ruru.

The Foundation continues to support the Board of Governors with the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre and provided funding towards retractable seating for the new gymnasium.

As part of the Project Blue Sky masterplan, the Sport and MultiPurpose Centre will transform life at Rangi Ruru for current and

future generations of students.

As the school continues towards a fundraising capital campaign target of $6.5m, I encourage our community to donate to this worthy campaign.

On behalf of the trustees I would like to thank you, our donors, for your generosity to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. We hope that our Rangi Ruru community will continue to support the school in its endeavours to provide young women with a world class education through quality teaching and superior facilities.

We encourage our alumnae to pay it forward by remembering the school in your will for our future aspiring students or by supporting an area of the school important to you. Supporting young women with a quality education truly is a gift for life.

AN UPDATE ON

Principal Dr Sandra Hastie and Head of Development Bridget Woodham tour the building site

Prior to the earthquake events of 2010 and 2011, Rangi Ruru was investigating how it could plan for the future to ensure it could continue to be at the forefront of girls’ education in New Zealand.

Changing needs, the changing curriculum and a greater realisation of how teaching and learning can move from good to great required the school to have more flexible spaces to cater for individuals, small groups and whole classes.

Rangi Ruru, as with much of Merivale and Christchurch, suffered damage to buildings and infrastructure because of the earthquakes. The Board of Governors decided not to replace buildings in an ad hoc manner, but instead to take the opportunity to redesign the whole school campus and build a school designed around the needs of tomorrows female leaders. Project Blue Sky was born.

Project Blue Sky remains a significant and exciting project to redevelop the site covering most of the land between Merivale Lane, Rossall Street and Hewitts Road. To date, four significant new buildings have already been completed, two buildings have been repaired and the next stage of Project Blue Sky—the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre—is under construction and expected to open in Term 3 of 2022.

The decision to redesign and rebuild the school was a bold one but one that is already paying off.

Our current students are reaping the benefits of an education supported by leading facilities.

Project Blue Sky Stage 1 saw the extensive repair of the historic building Te Koraha which was reopened in July 2012. The Gibson

Centre and Science Centre were the first new buildings completed and were officially opened in April 2014 followed closely by Mana Wāhine (meaning strong women) in June 2014. The Gibson Centre houses both the library and information services team. The Science Centre is one of the most advanced buildings of its kind in the country putting Rangi Ruru at the leading edge of science education. Mana Wāhine is home to social sciences and student services. The final projects in this phase involved the repair of both the Baird building (now home to the museum and gallery) and the Art and Technology building, opened in October and December 2014 respectively.

The current gym will not meet the requirement of the school and the evolving needs of our students.

8

The new facility will transform school life for our students and the community

Next, the Performing Arts Building and Merivale Lane Theatre were constructed and opened in June 2015. Following removal of the prefabs, the playing field was restored, hard courts and a new water-based hockey turf were also completed and officially opened in May 2016.

Construction is now underway on a new Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre. The decision to replace the existing gym was a straightforward one. In 1976 when the current gym was built the school roll was around 480 students, and now with roll numbers projected to reach 700 by the end of 2022 the current gym will not meet the requirement of the school and the evolving needs of our students.

The new facility will transform school life for our students and the community. It will be a multi-functional building offering maximum flexibility in the provision of physical and wellbeing activities. It will also provide abundant space to come together as a school and wider community for assemblies, conferences, gala events and performances.

The Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre is now estimated to cost around $10 million to build and in 2019 a capital campaign was launched with the ambition to raise $5.6million. The school pays special tribute to the wonderful legacy of Miss Elizabeth Reid (class of 1941). Miss Reid’s decision to bequest a transformative gift to the school laid the

foundations for fundraising efforts towards the Sport and Multi Purpose Centre. Since then, the Rangi Ruru family—board members and staff, current and past families and alumnae—have generously raised over $4 million towards the capital campaign, helping to ensure the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre is brought to life for current and future generations of students to benefit from.

There are still opportunities to celebrate your legacy and love for Rangi Ruru. If you would like to help Rangi Ruru close the fundraising gap, please scan below, go to rangiruru.school.nz/ community/support or contact the Head of Development on: development@rangiruru.school.nz

For the life changing experiences I had that made me who I am today - ANONYMOUS

Why WE GIVE

In 2021, Rangi Ruru embarked on its most successful fundraising initiative in the school’s 132-year history, raising an impressive $276,720 from 433 wonderful donors in just 24hours. It was an incredible day of giving and a true reflection of how special this school is to so many.

The record-breaking 24-hour Giving Day initiative—which took place on March 31, 2021—was in aide of the current capital fundraising campaign for the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre expected to open later this year as the next stage of the Project Blue Sky master plan. The facility will transform school life for our students and the community. It

10

will be a multifunctional building offering maximum flexibility in the provision of physical and wellbeing activities. It will provide ample space to gather, learn, play and celebrate not only as a school but as a wider community.

We give special thanks to our Matching Donors who enabled the donations of our community

to be tripled on the day and our volunteers who gave their time to help in the call centre and to everyone who contributed. We thank you for your belief in this school and your commitment to ensuring future generations of Rangi Ruru students thrive in the cherished environment bestowed upon them.

SUSTAINABILITY

REPORT

In 2021 the world faced another year of uncertainty. In spite of the hurdles encountered over the past year, our students demonstrated their strength and ability to create and implement sustainable initiatives to benefit both the wellbeing of our planet and people in our communities.

Bee the Change Week and the Rangi Ruru Green Market were a huge success raising more than $1150 for the World Wildlife Fund while bringing sustainability education and environmentally friendly products and options to our community.

Enormous thanks to the Sustainability Council and stall holders for this event and for increasing awareness around sustainable living.

12

Thank you to students and staff for supporting environmental initiatives with such passion and enthusiasm.

Amelie De Luca and her whānau gifted our school a beehive and honey. Thank you, Amelie for the generous donation towards our butterfly garden from honey sales at the Green Market.

Students have established a large vegetable garden and have provided Women’s Refuge with fresh, spray-free vegetables

including beetroot, spinach, kale, pumpkin, lettuces, spring onions, silver beet and celery. In the greenhouse, Te Ara students have planted tomatoes, capsicum, chilli peppers and cucumbers. A large area of potatoes, a bean garden and a strawberry patch have also been established and fruit planted. A butterfly garden with Muehlenbeckia axillaris has been established to help protect our endangered local native Boulder and Copper butterfly.

The Rangi Ruru nursery has green houses and a beehive

A group of Year 12 students promoted the use of reusable cutlery, bringing awareness of how many utensils are used by our community annually and for how little time before being composted! In the future we hope single use cutlery will be a thing of the past!

A large group of students, staff and parents were involved in Kerrs Reach and Operation River Quest river clean ups. We picked up enormous amounts of rubbish, including thousands of pieces of artificial grass. These tiny plastic strands cause issues when consumed by ducks and fish.

Rangi Ruru students are actively involved in Eco-Action Trust initiatives growing native trees, shrubs and grasses in our school nursery and planting these in the Christchurch Red Zone. Alicia Webster and Emma Ffowcs Williams were presented with

Eco-Action Leader Awards and many students have had their commitment and expertise acknowledged by gaining EcoAction Warrior Awards. In 2021 we grew around 5,000 native trees and shrubs onsite. The after school pricking out sessions at Christ’s College nursery have proved popular. It’s a great way for so many students involved in taking action to mitigate climate change.

you to Head of Sustainability Emma Ffowcs Williams for making these trips and other events happen.

Thanks to all involved in sustainability initiatives in 2021.

Students raised over $2,000 to help women in Myanmar give birth safely, supporting ex-Rangi teacher Lisa Johnson in her quest.

SPIRIT In the words of our Head of Service for 2021 Camille Perelini, “This year’s student theme, Thrive in the Hive, was super easy to relate to service because bees are some of the most selfless creatures out there, constantly giving to others no matter what’s in it for them.

Also, the thought of us thriving in our own hive brought about the thought of others in their hive and we could use our privilege to help them thrive”.

Last year was the second year of our new Student Volunteer Service (SVA) Award system for Years 9 to 13 students and, despite disruptions to the year,

our student body really embraced this system and took on the challenge of taking responsibility for themselves.

Collectively as a school we amassed over 14,000 hours of community service in 2021. The majority of students achieved their member badges (five hours), 95 students their bronze badges

Eight students shaved their heads for Shave for a Cure

14

(35 hours), eight students their silver badges (250 hours) and amazingly one student, Seoyeong Lee, achieved her gold badge for volunteering over 500 hours of service to our community.

Seoyeong knitted scarves for charity and also gave her time and skills to help others in our school in a variety of ways. She very deservingly won the top volunteer award from SVA. Early in the year as a school we got behind our annual Harvest Festival which is always a very visual display of giving.

Seoyeong Lee (Year 13 2021) completed more than 500 service hours

For 2021 we donated three massive container loads of food items to the Christchurch City Mission at a time when they were continuing to experience a high demand due to the uncertainty created by the pandemic. The 40hour Famine was another muchanticipated event by the Service Council and the whole student body, and once again we saw a very high level of involvement. As a school we raised $8,400 and were identified as one of Aotearoa’s top-performing secondary schools

and consequently awarded a Senior Student Leadership Summit Scholarship from World Vision.

It was great to see our students embracing giving to those in our local community as well as those on the other side of the world.

Another service initiative our students were involved in for 2021 was a campaign to raise funds to support an ex-Rangi Ruru teacher Lisa Johnson in her quest to help women in Myanmar give birth safely. The campaign raised over $2,000 for this cause.

Another group of Rangi students also decided to shave their heads to raise funds to support those suffering from Leukemia and other blood cancers. They successfully reached their goal of $5,000.

The 2021 Service Council decided to reformat its weekly offering system, renamed it Help a Hive, and allowed each year group to choose their own charity. They also hoped that involvement in brainstorming initiative ideas would boost and help overall engagement. In addition, they added in elements other than money, like item collections and bake sales, but sadly the pandemic did throw a bit of a spanner in the works for some of these initiatives.

Four pallets of non-perishables were donated to the Christchurch City Mission

Despite the disruptions to the year – with many events unable to take place – our students really embraced new and exciting ways of helping others in their communities and are to be congratulated for their huge generosity of spirit.

Tania Morgan • HEAD OF COMMUNITY & GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

As a school we decided to once again to support the Presbyterian Support Network’s Christmas Box initiative. Each tutor group was given an individual or a family (who might not otherwise receive gifts) to provide gifts for. All tutor groups gave very generously and helped to spread the joy of Christmas to many grateful individuals and families.

PHILANTHROPY

REPORT The Committee of the Rangi Ruru Old Girls’ Association (RROGA) has always been a strong advocate of supporting the school, its pupils and alumnae in the most generous way it can.

For the last 98 years the RROGA committee has made prudent and wise investments to build and maintain a capital base of Life Membership funds, legacies, fundraising and donations. This capital base enables RROGA to grant a variety of scholarships, bursaries, exhibitions and donations to recipients both in the school and community.

2021 was an exceptionally challenging year with little opportunity for fundraising due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, we have continued to support the school with scholarships, bursaries and exhibitions.

The Centennial Fund was launched in 1979/80 by the RROGA committee to raise funds to benefit the school; 25 years of fundraising later they opened the new school pool. Our continual commitment to the raising of funds for the betterment of the school has never ceased and last year we contributed a large sum to Project Blue Sky. We are looking forward to our next major fundraising project.

LEGACY GIVING AT RANGI RURU

For many of us, thinking about what might happen once we’re gone is something we’d rather put to the back of our minds—but it could be one of the most important decisions of our lives.

Leaving a gift in your will is a unique and powerful type of donation. It is a lasting way to support the people you love and the causes you have cared deeply about. It costs nothing in your lifetime but its impact after you’re gone can be great and far-reaching.

the incredible environment and facilities bestowed upon it, ongoing support and new investment is always needed. The primary source of support to bridge this gap is philanthropy, including legacy gifts from the Rangi Ruru community of past students, parents and friends.

With the majority of the school’s tuition fees directed towards operational costs, Rangi Ruru relies on the support of its community to help ensure a sustainable future. For the school to continue to develop and enrich

By leaving a gift in your will to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School you are giving to the advancement of the school; its facilities and resources, enriching the educational experience and making a genuine difference in maintaining its

position as one of New Zealand’s leading girls’ schools. A gift in your will to Rangi Ruru also helps uphold the Gibson sisters’ vision of a school which exists to provide educational excellence for girls.

This kind of gift acknowledges the importance Rangi Ruru has played in your life and is a way to support the school after you have gone in a way you have always wanted to.

We understand that your first priority is to ensure that the people you care about are provided for. As well as providing for family,

A gift in your will to Rangi Ruru helps uphold the Gibson sisters’ vision of a school which exists to provide educational excellence for girls for generations to come.

many people take the opportunity to also make a gift to a charity or institution that is close to their heart. A gift of any size to the Rangi Ruru Foundation can have a big impact over time. A bequest may include the residual of an estate, a percentage of an estate, a specific sum of money or a particular asset like stocks, real estate, insurance policies and works of art.

In recent years Rangi Ruru has benefited from the generosity of those who chose to leave a charitable gift in their will to the school. We pay tribute to the late Miss Elizabeth Reid (class of 1941). Miss Reid’s bequest lay the

foundations for the fundraising efforts towards the Sport and Multi-Purpose Centre currently underway. Miss Reid’s generosity leaves a legacy that will benefit our entire community and thousands of future Rangi students.

to our legacy society, the Gibson Circle. The Gibson Circle is a special group of like-minded Rangi Ruru champions who come together to share their mutual support and love of the school and celebrate school milestones when they occur.

Making the decision to leave a gift in your will is very personal and we understand if you prefer to keep your plans private. However, it is helpful for the school to have knowledge of a planned gift as it means the school can plan for the future. It also allows the school to keep you and your family informed on the impact your gift could make and allows the school to thank you in your lifetime and welcome you

If you are considering leaving a gift in your will to Rangi Ruru but would like more information to understand how your gift can make a difference—and/or you would like to let the school know you have made a gift in your will to Rangi Ruru—you can contact the Head of Development for a confidential and obligation free conversation.
