Outward Bound - Our Investment hits $1M

There is strong support for the initiative from the schools, who have seen their students experience huge personal growth, often stepping up as leaders in their community. “The feedback from our young people is always outstanding. This is a life-changing challenge that they will never forget. As such, a place at Outward Bound to complete a ‘Mind Body Soul’ course, is the most sought after and competed for award in our school”.  John Auld, Principal, Lawrence Area School

The Trust fundamentally believes that these scholarships can change the lives for many Otago secondary school students and is pleased to report that in the May board meeting the Trustees approved a $90,000 donation to see this initiative run once again in 2016. Secondary School principals will receive a letter from Otago Community Trust over the next few weeks concerning this ongoing opportunity.
