Building Fund
The School’s Building Fund provides an opportunity for families, Old Boys and members of our wider community to make a lasting contribution to the future of the School.
Contributions to the School Building Fund help the School plan and invest for the long term. They provide an important source of support for building and improving facilities so that our campus remains fit for purpose and continues to provide an environment in which students can learn, grow and achieve their potential.
The way students learn is continually changing. New technologies, different approaches to teaching and learning, greater collaboration and an increasing focus on wellbeing all influence the environments in which students thrive. The School’s buildings and facilities need to support these changing needs, providing spaces that are flexible, contemporary and designed to enable outstanding teaching, learning, sport, creativity and community.
A contribution to the Building Fund is therefore more than an investment in bricks and mortar. It is an investment in the educational experience of future generations of students and in ensuring the School has the facilities it needs to deliver the education of tomorrow.
