These are:
- Staff Professional Development
- The King’s School Foundation Scholarship Programmes, involving both external and internal scholarships.
- The Endeavour Scholarship Programme
As at 31 December 2009, the Foundation has a Capital Fund close to $5M and since it was formed has made cash grants to the School totalling $3,179,811.
Currently investments total $4.3M and an Investment Committee, which reports directly to the Board of Management, constantly reviews the investment policy.
The long-term aim of the Foundation must be to be strong enough not to have a continuing dependence on State grants. |

Since its inception the King’s School Foundation has always given strong support to the delivery of art at King’s School.
Over the years it has built up a significant Art Collection at a cost of $83,000. The current market value is well in excess of that figure.
The Foundation is delighted that this collection includes work produced by our two highly distinguished Old Boy Artists – Max Gimblett and Don Binney.
During 2004, the Foundation celebrated 20 years of achievement. The decision made by the Foundation Board of Management in 2005 to make a donation of $500,000 and extend a loan of $1.5 million to the Lighthouse and Sportsdome Project, is a very tangible way in which the Foundation pledges its continuing support to the Board of Governors, Headmaster and the School. The pledged $500,000 to the Lighthouse and Sportsdome Project is paid out of income and commenced in 2006 with completion in 2010.
