The Belinda Phillips Goldman Sachs Memorial Scholarship is offered every second year, and is not being offered for commencement in 2026.

The Belinda Phillips Goldman Sachs Memorial Scholarship is for girls entering Lauriston in Years 7, 8, 10 or 11 and is designed for a student who has a passion and proficiency for both academic and sporting pursuits. This perpetual fund supports a talented all-rounder who would not otherwise have the chance to attend Lauriston and is means-tested.

The scholarship was created by Richard and Annabelle Phillips in memory of Richard’s sister Belinda, a passionate sports advocate, who died tragically with her daughter Olivia in a car accident. Richard and Annabelle’s philosophy is that an educational experience should be a balanced approach with exposure to a range of activities. They see participation in sport as crucial to the development of a young person and playing in a team as a wonderful way to learn teamwork, resilience and persistence.

The Foundation Scholarship is offered every second year, and is not being offered for commencement in 2026.

Established in 2011 with the generous support of our donors, the Foundation Scholarship provides financial assistance to a student who would otherwise be unable to experience a Lauriston education and is means-tested. Awarded based on above-average results achieved in the annual scholarship examination, school reports and an interview, the Foundation Scholarships provide full remission for tuition fees.
