There are many ways you can support our school and make it a better place for the students who attend.

You can join the Friends of Hadlow and become a fundraiser. You can spread the word of the school among parents in the community or give a donation.

Regardless of what you do, you’ll have a positive impact for our students and our wider community – and we are always very grateful to those people and organisations who get behind us.

Thank You

We owe a lot to so many people in our community – from today’s students and families to our many donors and parent volunteers.

Without you, Hadlow School wouldn’t have flourished in the way that it has. Without you, we would have much less of an impact on the lives of our students.

To all of you – we offer a big heartfelt thanks.

Making A Donation

We welcome all donations – big and small. They all make a difference.

Ways to Support Hadlow

Here are just a few of the ways you can provide financial support.

• Annual donation (one way to support the school every year).
• A major gift (have an impact on a particular area of our school that interests you).
• Bequest (leave a legacy and help sustain Hadlow Preparatory School beyond your lifetime).
• Sponsorship (a way to support Hadlow and achieve a mutually-beneficial partnership).
• Hire our facilities for your next function (talk to our principal, Michael Mercer, about the options).

Hadlow Preparatory School is a registered charity and donations over NZ$5.00 are eligible for a tax rebate as allowed for under New Zealand law.

Friends of Hadlow

We have a parent-led volunteer fundraising group called the Friends of Hadlow.

It’s their job to raise funds for those extra things that make Hadlow a fun, social place for our students and their families.

Every year they run Hadlow community events like the morning tea for new parents, as well as occasional working bees, quiz nights, cooking demonstrations and the school athletics’ sports cafe.

We encourage anyone to join the Friends – either as a member of the organising committee or as an occasional helper.

More Information on the Friends

For more information on the Friends, contact Michael Mercer, our principal, or keep on top of what’s happening in Hadlow’s regular school newsletter, The Bulletin.

Past Pupils

Our past pupils now form our Hadlow Old Pupils Association (HOPA’s) who are welcome to drop in at any time – our doors are always open and it’s great to reflect on how things were for you and how they’ve changed over time.

You’re also welcome to take part in fundraising events and take part in our occasional social events tailored to past pupils and alumni.
