OneSchool Global (OSG) campuses across Aotearoa New Zealand have collectively raised NZ$7,105.62 for the Starship Foundation, New Zealand’s national children’s hospital, through a series of student‑led fundraising events.
Students took a variety of approaches – from reaching out to local businesses to mini markets and morning teas – with students at our Nelson campus having added reason to express their gratitude for the Foundation, as one student previously received care from the hospital.
Matt Morrison, OSG New Zealand’s Regional Director of Education, praised the efforts of students and staff across all campuses.
“OneSchool Global students across the region were delighted to support this fundraising campaign for Starship Hospital.
“OSG New Zealand’s fundraising efforts for the Foundation are part of our long tradition of supporting charities that offer vital assistance for people in need.”
“We look forward to continuing to offer our full support to these inspirational organisations.”
Starship Foundation Chief Executive Officer Joanna Simon also expressed her gratitude for the contribution from OSG students nationwide.
“Thank you to the students, staff and the wider community of OneSchool Global for this incredible donation. We are so grateful for the energy and heart that went into raising these funds, and it’s especially inspiring to see students leading the way.
“Support like this helps ensure Starship’s specialist teams can continue providing world-class care to children and young people across New Zealand.
“Funds will go towards vital equipment, innovative treatments and services that make a real difference to the lives of the children and families who rely on Starship every day.”
OSG’s charity days highlight the power of student leadership and community collaboration, demonstrating how young people can make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families across our regions.
