Our 1867 Circle Members are invited to special events throughout the year, including the 1867 Circle Lunch (pictured); an exclusive annual event where attendees hear from guest speakers, are updated on the College’s accomplishments and future plans, and entertained with musical performances from some of our talented students. It is a wonderful way to stay in touch with the College whilst also connecting with like-minded St Andrew’s alumni and friends. Those who leave a bequest to the College are automatically eligible to join the 1867 Circle in recognition of your support. We value your commitment to St Andrew’s College, and want the opportunity to thank you in person for being a part of our future.
Many of our significant gifts have come from legacies, and your bequest can help support many areas of St Andrew’s College. Gifts have enabled the College to achieve outstanding success in the past, and will continue to create incredible opportunities in the future. 2021 ANNUAL LUNCH The 1867 Circle members came together with current students and staff on Monday 6th December 2021 for their annual lunch at the College in honour and acknowledgement of those who support St Andrew’s. We met over a delicious three course lunch in the College’s Reading Room for an in-depth, informative Q&A with Principal, Wayne Erickson and Chair of Council, Charlie Taylor. Wayne and Charlie shared updates and insights about the College and Council’s five year strategy including upcoming capital works projects and new educational programs. This was followed by a beautiful musical performance from some of our talented student singers, Elise Nolte (Fr 2021) and
Charlotte MacDonald (Fr 2021) who were accompanied by their friend, pianist Ashley Chu. The lunch was a welcome opportunity for many members to catch up, and for their guests to revisit the College and reminisce about their days as students. The date for this year’s lunch is still to be set but invitations will be sent out with ample notice prior to the event.
