Projects

XŌtaki has been providing valuable facilities and infrastructure projects to improve the school environs and contribute to better outcomes for more than ten years. We continue to build a well-resourced 21st century school that serves and enhances the Ōtaki community. Max Lutz in his tenure as chair and trustee has secured funding and driven many initiatives that have provided improvements throughout the school. Some examples:

• Te Whare Hui homework centre
• Solar panel installation
• SS Ōtaki Commemoration
• Nelson block playground
• Outdoor canopy area (thanks to Graeme and Michelle Peters)
• Horticulture block development
• Ōtaki Scholar murals
• Flag poles
• Equipment for barista training
• ...and many more

New projects the Trust is hoping to raise funds for include:

• Improved lighting and audio in the assembly hall with an estimated cost of $53,000;
• Construct stage three of the solar project at an estimated cost of $30,000;
• Fund the purchase of an Ōtaki College events tent (complete with signage) at an estimated cost of $3,700;
• Increase the number and/or value of financial scholarships.
