The McCombs Performing Arts Centre has provided many fond memories for generations of Cashmere High School students.

Now’s your chance to give future generations that same opportunity.

A large part of our school has stood the test of time, however, some buildings including the Performing Arts Centre have had to be replaced following the Christchurch earthquakes. The building is being replaced but the spirit and history remains.

The Performing Arts Centre will contain approx. 575 seats and our aim is to raise $71,000 by asking for gifts of $125.00 per seat. In recognition of your gift we will attach an engraved name plate on a seat recognizing your contribution.

Pay online banking on or before 31st August 2019 to:

Cashmere High School Foundation 031594 0196091 00

Reference: Your Name, Phone Number and Seating Donation, then email: alumni@cashmere.school.nz
with your name and seating plaque details (containing no more than 2 lines of 36 characters total). If your seat name is different to payment name please advise this in your email

Your gift will make you part of the past, present and future of Cashmere High School.

On behalf of all students, thank you for your support!

The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.
