PARENT BODY ELECTION RESULTS - SEPTEMBER 2024
Congratulations
We are pleased to announce the results of the recent Nelson College Trust Foundation Parent Body election. Voting closed on September 30th, and after a brief delay due to the school holidays, we can now share the successful candidates with you.
Congratulations to Ngaire Warner and Karl Williscroft, who have been elected as the two new Parent Body Representatives. We look forward to their contributions and continued commitment to the Nelson College community through the Trust Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the voting process. Your engagement and support are greatly appreciated.
The purpose to "hold in Trust" funds acquired by the College from non-operational sources (funds from external donations or sales of significant assets), so that the income from the investment assets, can be attributed to the benefit of College students, both in the current and long term future.
All NZ state owned schools are provided operating funds to achieve the staffing, property & administration objectives specified in each schools' charter and in line with National Administration Guidelines (these funds are administered by the Board of Trustees).
Foundation funds are not operational funds and are restricted in use only by the conditions placed on them (if any) by the original donor. The overriding premise is that the base capital shall be preserved in perpetuity and income from invested funds be available for distribution. The Foundation has clear guidelines on the calculation of distributable amounts available for use each year.
The Trustees of the NC Trust Foundation represent the relevant College family stakeholder groups (Old Boys, Board of Trustees and the parent body). The Trust Foundation deed also allows for up to 2 independent Trustees.
