MANIFOLD CIRCLE LEAVING A GIFT The School has benefited greatly from many bequests and generous donations over the years. The Manifold Circle, established in 1997, recognises those who have remembered the School in their Will. The Manifold Circle was named in recognition of the outstanding support to Ballarat Grammar shown over generations by the Manifold family. When you inform us that you are leaving a gift in your Will to Ballarat Grammar, you will join other friends and supporters of the School in The Manifold Circle. As a member you will receive a beautiful pin, signifying membership and acknowledging your support. You will also receive invitations to special events and activities. A gift can support an area you are passionate about, such as Science, the Arts, a particular Sport, or general use by the school if you would prefer not to specify an area. A gift in your Will allows you to contribute to the School without impacting your lifestyle today, and it can be modified at any time if your situation changes. Importantly, if we are aware of your gift, it allows us to express our gratitude to you personally, however, we also respect requests for anonymity if you prefer.

A GENEROUS GIFT Wayne Hankin (1962), who attended Grammar from 1956-62, turned his passion for sport into preserving the history of football in Ballarat. Wayne was respected and a quiet achiever at Ballarat Grammar: he had a strong connection to the School and the wider Ballarat community, with an enormous passion and a great pride in history and football, particularly in relation to his beloved Golden Point. He lived on James Street in Golden Point for most of his life and he was a major supporter and administrator of Golden Point Football
Club (now East Point) for many years. He joined the Ballarat Football League Board in the late 1970s, helping to write what was then called The Football Guide for the League. He eventually became Ballarat Football League President and was integral in passing on the history of the League to the Australian Sports Museum. Wayne, who passed away in 2020, left a generous gift in his Will to Ballarat Grammar to support student bursaries, for which we are extremely grateful.
