Fundraising, Donations & Grants

School Donations

Together we go further

At Orewa College, we are committed to providing every ākonga with an enriched educational experience that goes beyond the basics. While the government provides operational funding to cover the essentials of running a school, there is a growing gap between what that funding covers and what it actually costs to deliver the quality of education our community expects and our students deserve.

Your tax-deductible school donation helps bridge that gap, funding the resources, specialist support, technology and opportunities that make Orewa College the school it is. Each year, we rely on the generosity of our whānau to help us maintain and grow the things that make OC special.

We are enormously grateful to every family that contributes. Your support is not taken for granted, it makes a real and tangible difference to the experience of every student at this school. More information about School Donations can be found here.

The Orewa College Hardship Fund

Every student, every opportunity

Each year we invite our whānau to consider a voluntary donation to the Orewa College Hardship Fund, so that every student can fully participate in school life, regardless of their family's circumstances. From course costs to camp fees, the fund provides quiet, dignified support to the students who need it most.

Hardship donations are optional and tax deductible. To donate to the Hardship Fund, or if your family needs support, please contact our accounts office at [email protected].
