Are you ready to begin your Rangi journey?

Rangi Ruru is very grateful for the continued support of a large number of old girls, parents (both current and past), staff and friends of the school.

The success of our giving programme is not only measured by how much money is raised but also by the participation of our community. Whatever the size of your gift, whether it’s a one-off donation or part of a regular giving scheme, it is your participation that is crucial and valued. Your gift does make a difference.
