Project Funding
This Project is a major development initiative involving a total capital outlay of approximately $22M (estimated in current dollar terms). This cost can be broken down across the main components of the development as follows:
| • |
|
Covered swimming pool - $12M |
| • |
|
All weather sports turf and underground car park - $10M |
The Dig Deep Fundraising Campaign aims to raise $3M towards this total investment through gifts, events and a range of other initiatives. These funds will make a significant difference to the borrowings required by the school to complete the project.

Tax Matters
All gifts to the Dig Deep Project will be made through the Diocesan School Heritage Foundation. The following summary may assist you in understanding some of the tax benefits of contributing to the Project.
The Foundation is registered with the Charities Commission (CC26996) and is therefore an Inland Revenue approved Charitable Organisation.
Since 1 April 2008 all donations to a registered charity qualify in full for the 33% donation rebate, which significantly reduces the after-tax costs of giving to the Heritage Foundation. The Board encourages members of the Diocesan community to take the tax rebate into account when considering how much to give in support of the School.
The Foundation will send you an official receipt each year and a copy of the appropriate IRD form that you can use to claim your tax rebate.
