One school. One community. One incredible night out.

​​

Join us for a spectacular evening at Queenstown Wharf Bar - Queenstown’s newest waterfront venue - offering stunning views across Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables, and the perfect setting for one of the region’s most anticipated winter events.

 

The Annual Winter Gala Fundraising Dinner & Live Auction is a celebration of community, connection, and the successes of Wakatipu High School.

 

Enjoy an Italian-Asian inspired menu paired with premium Central Otago wines and beers, generously donated by our incredible sponsors. The evening will feature live music, silent and live auctions showcasing exclusive experiences and sought-after items.

 

By attending, you’ll be directly supporting youth education at Wakatipu High School. In 2026, the WHS Foundation has committed to contributing $400 per student - a total investment of $600,000 - supporting five key pillars: Teachers, Literacy & Numeracy, Wellbeing, Outdoor Education, and the Āwhina Support Fund.

 

Gather with friends, colleagues and fellow supporters for a memorable night out while making a meaningful difference for Queenstown’s only public high school.

 

One school, one community, one night of connection and support.
