Golf, Sunshine and $33,000 Raised!

On 9 October 2025, the Wakatipu High School Foundation hosted its Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the stunning Millbrook Resort, with perfect weather setting the tone for an exceptional day of fundraising and community spirit.

A sold-out field of 30 teams (120 players) took to the course, contributing to a fantastic atmosphere of friendly competition and generosity. Thanks to the outstanding support of our sponsors and players, the tournament raised over $33,000, which will go directly towards initiatives supporting students at Wakatipu High School.

Thank you to our Sponsors!

We would like to thank Millbrook Resort for hosting the day as well as the businesses that sponsored Holes and donated raffle and auction items.
