TBHS Gillies Block Upgrade
A much needed facelift has been given to the Timaru Boys’ High School reception area which has stood unchanged since 1979.
Funded by generous Timaru High School Old Boys, the official opening of the building saw the ribbon cut by Old Boy, Mr Bruce Lund and was attended by both Old Boys and family members of school benefactors. Sincere thanks to the following contributors who made this upgrade possible:
- The Old Boys’ Association and Old Boys’ Foundation
- Alistair Ross
- Janie Murray Trust
- Bill Sutton
- Jean and Peter Lewis
- Bruce Lund
- Chris McKeown
- Garth LeRoy
- Barry Thompson
- David McBride
As well as providing a new frontage, the outside walls house informative stainless plaques inscribed with the names of generous school philanthropists, and the inside foyer now has a Donors Board, also honouring our generous benefactors through the years. The names of these benefactors are:
- Sir Roy McKenzie
- Alan Burnet
- Ray Coupland
- Sir Neil Isaac
- Bruce Leadley
- Peter Lewis
- Bruce Lund
- Bruce Scott
- John Scott
- Sir Admiral Gordon Tait
- Tony Timpson
- David Urquhart
- Jim Wakefield
- Joe Wilson
- TBHS Development Trust
- Timaru High School Old Boys’ Association
- Timaru High School Old Boys’ Foundation
- TBHS International Students
- TBHS Parent Teacher Association
- TBHS Student Workdays
Next time you are visiting the school, be sure to have a look around.
