Musical Stars Performance Trust Board — Education Charity in Lower Hutt
Musical Stars Performance Trust Board is a Trust charity in the Education sector, based in Lower Hutt, Lower Hutt. Annual revenue: $0.1M NZD. Financial data as at March 2026.
Mission: Give children an authentic and professional stage experience. The annual show and other performance opportunities enable children to put into practice the many skills they learn during the formal programme. Public performances challenge and enrich our children, set goals for them to work towards, increase confidence and develop a range of general and specific musical theatre skills. Children are also challenged to think critically with production themes often focussed on issues of social justice, respect and diversity. Performances also allow children from different communities across the region to work together on a collaborative Arts project. Children not only perform to friends and family, but also to children from local schools and early childhood centres who are invited to attend special performances, increasing the opportunities for school and preschool aged children in the local community to access and experience the Arts in a very direct and meaningful way.

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.
- No chair recorded on the registerNo chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 4. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.
Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
