CTS Legacy Fund
In late 2022 Clifton Terrace School launched the Clifton Terrace School (CTS) Legacy Fund.
It is an exciting & sustainable way to ensure your child and future children of Clifton Terrace School have access to resources and opportunities.
Through the fund we are able to provide opportunities for the school community that otherwise might not be available, like Rocket Building with Engineering NZ, Bankers in Schools for financial literacy, extended music, drama, art, sports & STEM opportunities.
“I like this school because it has great teachers, that can teach you a lot of things.
If you have learning needs they are good at helping you with that.”
“It’s fun and you get to do lots with your friends.
I like being a student leader too as you get to help run activities for other kids.”
