About Us

Rogers Charitable Trust was formed in 1995, following the bequeathment of a dairy farm owned by local Doctor Lindsay Rogers to Te Awamutu College. The dairy farm was sold in 2023 and the proceeds from the sale are managed by the Trustees. Each year, interest generated from the fund is donated to Te Awamutu College for various projects including school buildings and facilities, furniture, vehicles, student prizes, scholarships and uniform subsidies.
