Beyond Tomorrow Campaign Launch

A highlight of the year was the official launch of our Beyond Tomorrow Capital Campaign supporting our Centre for Science, Creativity and Entrepreneurship. This event provided an opportunity for those in our community who had already supported or shown interest in the project to hear about the campaign in further detail.

Our Chairman of School Council, Peter Ickeringill, outlined both the project and campaign stressing the key role philanthropy will play in bringing the centre to fruition. Deputy Headmaster, Dr Ray Swann, also spoke highlighting the teaching and learning direction planned for the new Centre. A highlight of the evening was a fireside chat between the Headmaster and David Russell an Old Boy and member of our Hall of Fame. They discussed how education in the future might look and the part entrepreneurship will play in the world beyond tomorrow.

The Beyond Tomorrow Campaign is now well underway and we are delighted that $7M of our $15M target has been gifted or pledged already.

This is the School’s most ambitious building project to date and will bring to life some incredibly exciting learning spaces as we focus on better equipping our boys with the necessary skills to live and work in the future.

Of course, should you have any questions regarding our Beyond Tomorrow Campaign, or wish to discuss ways you can support the campaign, please do not hesitate to contact John Phillips in the Development Office.

Chairman’s Circle

Our Chairman’s Circle recognises the donors within our community whose significant philanthropic support assists the School to bring our plans and vision to reality.

Since its establishment in 2007 by Ian Paroissien, former Chairman and Governor of the School, 70 members of our generous community - past and current parents, past staff and Old Boys - have chosen to join our Chairman’s Circle.

Each year the current Chairman of Council, Peter Ickeringill, hosts a cocktail party to personally thank our Chairman’s Circle members for choosing to support the School at the highest of levels. The event also provides an opportunity for

Peter to update members in terms of our plans for the future.

We are particularly fortunate to have the ongoing support of our Chairman’s Circle members both in terms of their advocacy of and generosity to our School.
