The Foundation is responsible for overseeing the funds contributed by donors and members and ensuring the funds are managed and distributed in accordance with the various deeds of Trust for each Fund and donor’s wishes. The Foundation also plays an important role in acknowledging and recognising those who give or donate funds to the benefit of the School.

The Foundation acts as trustee of four key Funds established to support the School:

• Education Fund
• Building Fund
• Library Fund
• Scholarship Fund

Our History
