Annual Campaign

Give to your College in 2019

Following on from our successes in 2018 we would like you to consider a gift to one of three ongoing projects in 2019.

The Cloisters The Cloisters is the heart of the College. It comprises of 15 classrooms and the magnificent central courtyard. After works to four in 2018, we have 11 to complete to regenerate this precious heritage building and make it an outstanding space for 21st century teaching and learning. Please help us to continue this important project.

The Pegasus General Excellence Scholarships In 2019 we have welcomed new students who have been assisted by our Pegasus Scholarships. These students have contributed in the classroom, in sport, music, public speaking, and in the boarding houses. We have selected outstanding candidates for 2020 and applications are already open for 2021. There are so many deserving students and families, please help them experience a Geelong College Education.

The Dr Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship The College is committed to Indigenous connections through education, leadership and by offering opportunities for Indigenous students to live and learn at Geelong College, and to be supported through their journey. Over the next few years we hope to raise an endowment for the Dr Bill Williams Scholarship so that this honour for Bill will exist in perpetuity and support the education of Indigenous students by investing in their, and in our, future. Please consider a gift to the Dr Bill Williams Tjungurrayi Scholarship fund.

Thank you once again for your consideration of a gift to The Geelong College. Your gift, of any size, does make a significant difference to the learning and lives of our students, now, and into the future.

Foundation House Challenge

Do you remember your first days of Senior School when you joined your house? The mornings in your house room, the tutes, the house friends you made and, of course, the glory days!

Well, it’s happening again. A fight for House glory and we want you to support your house to win the Foundation House Challenge.

How do I get involved, I hear you ask? Simply fill in the giving slip or go to www.geelongcollege.vic.edu.au/ community/foundation/housechallenge and donate to your house. On the website you will be able to see how your house is faring against the other houses, see others who have donated and watch the excitement unfold.

The money raised will be used to update the house rooms into 21st century learning spaces, with modern furnishings, audio visual equipment and honour boards.

Every cent counts towards the Foundation House Challenge, so dig deep and support your house to come out on top.

Through giving at the College we can undertake projects that genuinely enhance the learning environment and opportunities for the students of today and tomorrow. We ask, through the Foundation House Challenge, for you to be a part of it.

Yours Sincerely
