THE RUYTON FOUNDATION

Ruyton students today enjoy the benefits of facilities and programs made possible by the generosity of families who came before us. The Ruyton Foundation provides all members of the Ruyton community with the opportunity to contribute to the current and future educational and built environment needs of the School through philanthropic activities such as the Annual Appeal, capital campaigns and the Moreton Bay Fig Bequest Society.

While much of the Foundation’s focus in 2022 was on the Dream Now capital campaign, it was wonderful to receive support for the Expand Her World Annual Appeal which raised funds for the Founder’s Scholarship program and the Henty Excellence in Teaching Fund Contributing to these important projects through the annual appeal is a tangible way of supporting Ruyton girls now and into the future.

In May last year, members of the Moreton Bay Fig Bequest Society gathered for lunch at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club where five new members were officially welcomed into the group. These women join eight others who have chosen to include Ruyton in their wills, not only leaving a lasting legacy to the School but also helping to ensure our future. Thank you to Moreton Bay Bequest Society President Robyn Kanat (Bate, 1980) and committee members for their ongoing support.

Coming up on the calendar is the Foundation Ball on Saturday 29 July. We invite you to join us at the historic Ian Potter Queen’s Hall in the State Library for a night of fun and entertainment where all proceeds raised this year will go directly to the Dream Now campaign.

On behalf of the Foundation, I sincerely thank our donors who are recognised on the following pages. From those who continue to give each year to those who are joining us for the first time, your generosity makes a real difference to Ruyton and our students.
