CES is recognised as an industry leader offering quality services in the education and not-for-profit sectors across New Zealand. Our mission today remains the same; to provide comprehensive and cost-efficient services to member schools and to the wider education and not-for-profit sectors. CES was formed in 1989 by 33 state secondary schools in Canterbury to succeed the former Christchurch Secondary Schools Council, following its abolition by the 1989 Education Act. Our structure is unique amongst financial service providers because as an incorporated society and a co-operative, all profits are returned to education. CES’s philosophy of supporting schools, trusts and not-for-profit organisations has underpinned their development into leadership in the education trust and not-for-profit services sector. Today, we provide services to over 180 schools and trusts, supplying products in excess of 700.
