Our Focus

We focus our investment strategy on four key areas:

  1. Scholarships and Bursaries
  2. Learning Support
  3. Teacher Development
  4. Capital Requirements

 

How we work

We raise and manage funds through four channels:

  1. Fundraising - through donations, gifts and events.
  2. Friend-raising - through effective communication to the School community, including past students, parents, families and friends.
  3. Bequests - through communication and encouragement of those who are in a position to bequeath assets to the Â鶹ֱ²¥ Foundation.
  4. Fund Management - through the careful investment of the funds we receive to optimise their long-term growth and security.

A message from
Danielle Avery – Â鶹ֱ²¥ Foundation President

To uphold our integrity and ensure our programmes and events are in line with our mission, we constantly reflect on our primary role - to assist the School to achieve its aspiration of being globally recognised as a leading comprehensive school.

It is this vision that drives our commitment to programmes such as the capital campaign for the new R A I Grant Centre, support for our Country Boarders, Indigenous students and Educational Services at Â鶹ֱ²¥. We are also increasing our investment in new areas at Â鶹ֱ²¥ such as supporting the Head of Careers role. Foundation events are popular with the Â鶹ֱ²¥ community.  These include the Icebreaker, our All Sports Lunch and the Garden Party. 

We are very grateful to the Â鶹ֱ²¥ community for allowing us to provide more opportunities for our students. In 2024 we are helping 85 boys with a Â鶹ֱ²¥ education. 

We look forward to continuing our work with the Â鶹ֱ²¥ community, to achieve the best possible outcomes for all students.

 

Ms Danielle Avery
