Giving Thanks

Our strong culture of philanthropy was clearly evident on our Annual Giving Day on 24 May when 395 members of our community got behind this year’s Appeal. Our focus this year moved from supporting scholarships to supporting the fit-out of the Grill’d Kitchen, a key feature in our latest development - the BHIVE.

We were truly humbled by the generosity we received from our community. In just 24 hours, $283,617 was raised - an amazing result! Heartfelt thanks to our Annual Giving Appeal matchers enabling all gifts received on the day to be doubled.

Special thanks also to Grill’d, owned by Simon Crowe (OB 1990) whose support of the Appeal following our Giving Day is recognised through the naming of this facility.

Our Grill’d Kitchen is truly an outstanding facility. For the first time in our School’s history, our boys now have access to a large fully equipped commercial kitchen, providing the perfect environment for our boys to dive into food and nutrition related activities whilst developing life long skills. It’s also a place that will soon inspire business ideas through the prototyping and testing of products. It is only with the support of our community that building developments such as our BHIVE can come to life in timeframes originally envisaged. A huge thank you again to our generous community for supporting our Annual Giving Day.
