There are multiple other opportunities for you to help the school become an even better place to be the best we can be - and these are detailed below:
1. Helping our community
2. Old Scholars give back
3. Team/Activity/Event sponsorship
4. A financial donation (to be used for any priority as determined by the school)

Giving programs
You can be involved in helping our community
We are now looking to our community to assist our students in need. Your support will help those who are facing cost of living stress and/or are recovering from floods. Your financial support will mean students will be provided with a formal uniform skirt/trousers, shirt and tie which is needed for excursions, representing the school and formal interviews and events. Our aim is to ensure that every child is able to participate in our school community without feeling left out on days we have formal uniform as the code of dress required. The formal uniform gives students a great sense of pride in their appearance, and school. They look smashing. Professional and modern, the uniform is oriented to the type of wear one would see in the business world and students who have their uniform - even the younger ones are expressing the maturity and professional look it generates.
Are you able to donate funds for a set (or 10) of formal uniform? Each pack is $165 and provides the formal uniform needs/child (Year 7-12)
- 1 x Pants/Skirt Formal $45.00
- 1 x Shirt/Blouse $45.00
- 1 x Tie $25.00
- $50 support to Shoes
Thank you for considering supporting our young people at this time.
Old Scholars give back
We also welcome direct support from past students through our 'give back program' by making a donation, bequest or establish a trust.
These funds can support capital works, school programs, student scholarships or provide a laptop, a valuable learning resource in today's classroom, for a student experiencing challenges in their life.
Similarly skills and services may be offered to progress programs, classes or formal committees such as School Council.
