The trust has provided $53,382 towards the cost of building a new rope course on the school grounds.
Principal Reece Goldsmith said it was "pretty cool" to get this funding.
The school has been without its outdoor education high ropes course since a gale "basically destroyed the whole course" in August last year.
Mr Goldsmith said outdoor education teacher Kerry Barnett had been instrumental in working to design a new stand-alone course and raise funds for the anticipated $180,000 cost.
They were still fundraising and hoped to have the rest of the funding soon, enabling them to progress with construction about May, she said.
A draft design was close to being finalised and would include climbing and balancing elements, swings, a flying fox, and trapeze jump and would be suitable for ages from about 10 years and up.
The design would also include native plantings from the Haehaeata Natural Heritage Trust, of Clyde, she said.
Other recipients of the February funding round of the Central Lakes Trust include the Central Cancer Society of NZ, Otago and Southland division ($66,000), Lakes Breastfeeding Charitable Trust ($23,000), Alzheimer's Society Otago ($25,000), Arts on Tour NZ ($14,500), and the Blue Light Central Lakes Blast Programme ($2750).
