A LETTER OF
THANKS
From the Head of Development • Bridget Woodham
This is my final letter of thanks as Head of Development here at Rangi Ruru. What a whirlwind the last five years have been. When taking on the role in 2018, with the aim of bringing our community together for the shared vision of delivering Atawhai, a new sport and multi-purpose centre, I couldn’t have foreseen what would unfold. To deliver a large-scale capital campaign in normal circumstances is challenging enough but to do it while riding an unpredictable and at times destabilising pandemic wave was certainly new ground. To say it has been niggly at times is an understatement, but it has also been one of the most rewarding. I have seen our community grow stronger, be nimbler and more adaptable and felt the Rangi Ruru love burst at the seams, strengthening every time we were knocked about. It is a wonderful thing to know the Rangi Ruru spirit is alive and flourishing.
In this report, I would like to take the opportunity to formally acknowledge and show gratitude for the multitude of people who support the school, specifically those who gave so generously in many ways over the past twelve months. Without their support Rangi Ruru wouldn’t be what it is. As the cost of living continues to increase so too does the cost of an independent education, yet the real value of per-student government funding received has decreased over time due to inflation, and the school pays more in GST than it receives. Therefore, it is philanthropic acts that allow the school to continue to be competitive, mitigate risks and prepare for the future, one where
the school is fiscally sustainable. In short, the school relies on the support of its community for its continued advancement.
The delivery of Atawhai is an illustration of our community rallying together to help deliver a legacy which will benefit generations of students. Through events such as Giving Day 2022, where an extraordinary $314,831 was raised in 24 hours, to the House Party, raising $113,086, we were able to help bring to life a building that provides new spaces to learn, gather, play, and celebrate in. Creating these spaces were vital for both our culture and our campus if we were to continue to accommodate the growing roll and evolving needs of our students. Although falling just shy of the ambitious $5.6m fundraising target, the school can feel assured its wider whānau understand and are willing to demonstrate their ongoing support through investment in this wonderful institution to ensure Rangi Ruru stays at the forefront of education in New Zealand.
In this edition, as well as celebrating Atawhai, we also pay tribute to our sponsors and grant providers whose support helps enrich the cocurriculum programmes on offer. Whether that be through helping the school purchase additional or top of the line equipment, providing assistance with travel to national tournaments, providing mentoring through access to experts in their field or simply providing a jolly good beverage for our guests to enjoy while attending a community event. We would also like to thank the large
number of supporters who volunteer their time and expertise to enrich the Rangi Ruru experience – we take our hats off to coaches, team managers, reader-writers, career and pathways mentors and all the good sorts who make our place a better space just with their presence and guidance. No matter what it is, whether big or small, every bit of support helps.
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 visionaries, trailblazers, creators, arbitrators, realists, idealists and all round good sticks. A gift to Rangi Ruru is an investment in its future, ensuring it remains the leading choice for independent education for generations to come. Thank you for your continued support and showing your love for Rangi Ruru through giving. It is seen, it is felt, and we are grateful.
Ngā mihi
2022 • RANGI RURU GIRLS’ SCHOOL PHILANTHROPY REPORT 3
When I visit Rangi Ruru, I often take a moment to admire Atawhai’s welcoming presence at the Hewitts Road entrance. It gives me great pleasure to see the facility being used by Rangi Ruru staff and students, and to know that the retractable seats enable the whole school to gather for assemblies and performances. It also gives me an enormous amount of pleasure to know that the completion of Atawhai has been a community effort.
Atawhai’s journey began when the
THE ATAWHAI JOURNEY AND OUR THANKS
masterplan for the Rangi Ruru campus was developed by the Board of Governors following the Canterbury earthquakes. I would like to acknowledge the Governors at that time who had the foresight and vision to masterplan the campus. The masterplan vision was named “Project Blue Sky” and it provides a blueprint for the ongoing development of Rangi Ruru in a co-ordinated and planned way.
For my fellow Governors and myself, we began the journey to develop Atawhai by visiting a number of recently developed
school gymnasiums in Canterbury. The visits enabled us to define exactly what Rangi Ruru wanted in a new gymnasium building. It was important to us that our new facility would be a multi-use facility that not only provided gymnasium facilities but also incorporated teaching spaces, a fitness centre and enabled the whole school to gather for assemblies and performances.
A building project takes a significant amount of time and effort to keep on track. We were very fortunate to have

Stewart Barnett, who is an Honorary Governor, manage the project for the Board. Stewart gave an enormous amount of time to manage the design and construction of Atawhai, and it gave the Board a significant amount of comfort knowing that Stewart was managing the delivery. We are enormously grateful for Stewart’s commitment, wisdom and dedication.
A project like Atawhai cannot be started or completed without funding, and as an independent school Rangi Ruru does not receive funding from the Government or other public bodies for capital investment or development. Therefore, the support of Rangi Ruru’s community is vital and it generously and widely supported Atawhai. I would like to thank a number of people and groups withing our community for their support.
The first person I would like to acknowledge for their generosity is the late Miss Elizabeth Reid. Miss Reid left
a bequest to Rangi Ruru in excess of $2million without knowing how the gift would be used. We used her gift for Atawhai, and we named the gymnasium in her honour, and we are truly grateful for Miss Reid’s generosity. Also, Miss Reid’s gift truly reflects the Greek proverb that says, “A society grows great when people plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.”
We had a number of significant donors who gave to the project early, including the Rangi Foundation and the Rangi Ruru Old Girls’ Association. The early gifts were instrumental in giving the Board confidence we would be able to seek wider community support for the project, and as a Board we truly appreciated this.
The wide community support we’ve received for our fundraising initiatives for Atawhai has been truly heart-warming, and we are very grateful for it. There have been so many ways in which people have given to Atawhai including:
• matching donors who gave freely before both our Giving Days;
• people who gave time and money on each our Giving Days;
• donations of items for our House Party fundraising auction;
• sponsors for our House Party; and
• attendees at our House Party and bidders on the auction.
The contributions from our community and the wide community support have enabled Rangi Ruru to continue to develop its campus and care for our current and future Rangi Ruru students. Thank you very much to everyone that supported Atawhai, the support is very much appreciated.

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 offer and approach to girls’ education.
Globally, private secondary education is enhanced by donations (or bequeaths), from contributors who either have a personal connection to the institution or may have 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 be seen in students who otherwise couldn’t afford a Rangi Ruru education, or facilities that otherwise couldn’t be built by just the collection of fees.
The Foundation meets its obligations through its fiscal stewardship of donations and bequests given to the school and passed to the Rangi Ruru Foundation. The Foundation currently manages over $3.2 million, and ensures these funds are maintained
and used for the purpose for which they were given.
Last year, scholarships and bursaries totalling $43,000 were awarded to 12 students. Funding grants of $26,366 were approved to staff and student recipients.
The investment markets in 2022 were dominated by global central banks changing their view on inflation. The initial thoughts were that inflation was transitory, only to later in the year conclude it was predatory. The global central banks response was consistent and interest rates have been raised in an attempt to quell the perils of rising prices. Of course the medicine can sometimes be more unpleasant than the symptoms. All classes of investment; bonds, property, equities and commodities have performed poorly.
To see the school roll continue to grow, in these trying times for families, is testament to the excellent educational offer of Principal, Dr Sandra Hastie and the staff at Rangi
The Foundation supported the Board of Governors with Atawhai, the sport and multi-purpose centre project. It is very pleasing to see a facility of its quality on the school campus. The Foundation continues to be supportive of Project Blue Sky which envisions the completion of an international quality campus.
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 Old Girls to pay it forward by supporting a scholarship or remembering the school in your Will for our future aspiring students. Supporting young women with a quality education truly is a gift for life.

Ruru.
Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful and lasting way to support the people you love and the causes you have cared deeply about in your lifetime. It costs nothing in your lifetime but its impact after you’re gone can be great and far-reaching.
By making a charitable gift to the Rangi Ruru Foundation in your will, you are giving to the advancement of the school, making a genuine difference in maintaining Rangi Ruru’s position as one of New Zealand’s leading schools and ensuring it exists as an educational choice for generations to come.

BY NUMBERS GIVING
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 students receive.
In 2022, the school received
approximately $560,000 in philanthropic support. Like the previous year, the majority of these gifts were directed towards the completion of Atawhai, our new sport and multi-purpose centre, that officially opened in September 2022.
With the majority of the school’s tuition fees directed towards
staffing and operational costs, Rangi Ruru relies on the support and generosity of its community to help prepare for future generations and to ensure the Gibson Sisters’ vision continues to soar. Rangi Ruru thanks and acknowledges all of those who have gifted to the school in 2022. It is through this generosity that our school continues to strive and keep to the vison of our founders.

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.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Showing aroha, building compassion and fostering kuleana/responsibility as a collective, are key concepts developed through our sustainability initiatives at Rangi Ruru this year.
Instilling a deep care and respect for people and the natural world form the foundations of our kura’s environmental activities and events. Students practice both environmental and social sustainability and evidence of this can be seen in action in our onsite nursery where we have grown over 5,000 native trees, shrubs and
grasses and planted over 1,000 vegetables in 2022.
Our Eco-Action Nursery is part of a wider community initiative where together we have collectively grown and planted 18,000 native plants in 2022 for the Red Zone. This is creating a forest that will last for generations to come and is providing habitat and food for native birds while sequestering carbon.
A large and enthusiastic team of Rangi Ruru students have been propagating
seeds, growing plants and planting out this year. Many students have had their commitment and expertise acknowledged by gaining Eco-Action Warrior awards. The after-school pricking-out sessions twice a week at the Christ’s College nursery have proved popular, with consistently large numbers attending throughout all seasons. It is great to have so many ākonga involved in taking action to mitigate climate change.
Rangi Ruru was very fortunate to be awarded a $10,000 Countdown
10
Growing for Good grant, allowing us to build a shade house to raise many more seeds annually. This funding also enabled us to put in water tanks to collect rainwater and provide a covered area to enable learning in the nursery all year round.
Our edible garden initiative involves students giving their time working together growing fruit and vegetables onsite for others. This year the garden beds have been extended allowing us to grow and plant over 1,000 seedlings in November alone. This produce will continue to be donated to organisations
supporting wāhine and tamariki in need in Ōtautahi. Thank you to all involved in supporting the expansion of our edible gardens. The time, money and resources given are enormously appreciated.
In the nursery, our beehive has continued to flourish and grow. The pohuehue/ Muehlenbeckia axillaris plants and rock garden providing food and habitat for our local endangered Boulder Copper butterfly is now well established and cuttings are growing to donate to other schools.
Our Reuse Depot has continued to play a vital role in keeping reusable waste from
landfill and it has been well supported. Thanks to all involved behind the scenes. There is a strong sense of manaakitanga/ generosity of spirit displayed by our Sustainability Council and the Rangi Ruru Caring and Active Rangi Environmentalists (CARE) team. Together, we are creating better futures for people, our native fauna and flora and Papatūānuku/Mother Earth.
Ngā mihi maioha to all involved for their time and passion!

SPIRIT
One of Rangi Ruru’s values is generosity of spirit; we like to develop young people who see that giving to others is beneficial to all involved. In 2022, our focus has been on Be The Change. This has been at the heart of the Service Council’s priorities as they sought opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.
Opportunities to provide service comes in a variety of ways; some large scale, such as sports coaching for a season, others smaller, such as collecting for a charity on an appeal day, or donating a can for a food drive. However, it is the commitment
to continued service which is what we like to foster. It is great to hear how students are seeking these ongoing opportunities as a way to develop good habits of providing service. We hope to see that this is something they continue to do beyond the Rangi Ruru gates.
It has been encouraging to see our younger students committing to service, with a significant number of year 9 students receiving their Student Volunteer Army Member badge already, and well on their way to their bronze (32 hour) badge.

Students compiling Christmas gifts for donation
Weather events have impacted many areas of New Zealand this year. One of the first Service Council initiatives was to support the collection of non-perishable items for families impacted by the West Coast flooding. These were greatly received and made a difference to many people.
Our traditional Easter Egg collection was well supported and greatly received by Cholmondeley Children’s Centre. Alongside this, the bake sales for Daffodil
Day and Pink Ribbon are always a great fundraiser.
In combination with the Chapel Committee, a very successful Harvest Festival food collection was generated and greatly appreciated by the City Mission.
The 40-hour Famine raised $1,246 with a good variety of activities completed; including 40 acts of kindness, 40km of activity and 40 hours without technology. These funds will support World Vision in their drive to provide clean drinking water for communities.
Beyond the school based activities students have been supporting charities with collections, including most recently Dementia Canterbury.
Since the beginning of 2022, Rangi Ruru students have volunteered over 8000 hours of service, including sustainability initiatives, community support, sports coaching and tutoring. We continue to be a part of the Student Volunteer Army programme and have been pleased to
acknowledge a further five students reaching their Silver Award in 2022. This is earned through contributing over 250 hours of service as an individual.
As restrictions of the past few years have eased, I look forward to an even more successful service year in 2023.

MAKING HISTORY WITH GIVING
On June 14, 2022, our entire Rangi Ruru whānau, past and present, were invited to support the Gibson sisters’ vision and help grow the school through a 24 hour Giving Day, the second of its kind, to raise funds for Atawhai our new sport and multi-purpose centre. Part of the post-earthquake masterplan ‘Project Blue Sky’, this facility has already started transforming school life for our students providing a much needed space to gather, to play, to learn and celebrate in.
Thanks to the generosity of our matching donors, every donation received on the day was tripled which meant we reached our initial target $250,000 by 4pm. Due to the swiftly increasing total, a bonus target was set of $300,000, which was surpassed by the time lolly jars had emptied and the phones were hung up for the night in the Giving Day engine room.
The enthusiasm of the volunteers on the phones was contagious and every milestone was celebrated with high fives and cheer. A big thank you to all of our
volunteers who did an exceptional job making phone calls to our community. Volunteer, Sharon Leech said, “It was very special to be a part of seeing what the wider school community, young and old can do when they come together collaboratively. Being able to help as a volunteer was a great way to be able to give back; to help Rangi Ruru realise the legacy that Elizabeth Reid and the other generous matching donors had for Rangi Ruru in building a facility like Atawhai, for everyone to benefit from and to provide a positive impact on Rangi Ruru for generations to come”.
Students, staff, and parents visited throughout the day to watch progress on the big screens in the Giving Day headquarters in Te Koraha, while many people followed the progress online. The excitement was palpable watching the total increase as each generous donation came in.
This year we added an extra layer of excitement and fun rivalry by holding a clan competition.
Glamis took out the top prize raising over $54,000 and the highest participation with 73 donors, earning them the first student tour of Atawhai and Glamis engraved on a plaque on the back of seat one of the retractable seating in the gym. Current students from each house produced impressive videos that were shared on social media to garner support from past and present clan members.
The success of Giving Day 2022 represented an outpouring of support for Rangi Ruru and a continued belief in the Gibson’s sisters’ vision in which our students and alumnae contribute and succeed in all walks of life.
An outstanding total of 442 gifts from alumnae, who graduated in the 1940s, and every decade since, as well as past and present families and current students.
Thank you to every person who got behind the day and donated, volunteered, and shared the message.

PHILANTHROPY REPORT
For the last 99 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.
Although less challenging than 2021, 2022 continued to test us as we moved through the COVID-19 traffic light system, meaning opportunities to gather and fundraise were interrupted. Despite this, 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.
