Our School will constantly remind us not only of the generosity of the givers but also of the vision they have in this gift of theirs, which is to form for those who have come after them the pathway to a fuller life. 1928 School Magazine Editorial
Annual Giving 2021 BUILDING FUND
Hamilton Building Restoration Built by famed architect, Phillip Hudson, in 1928, the Hamilton Building stands at the heart of the school and is synonymous with belonging and spirit. This heritage listed building was only made possible by the generosity of the School Council, Parents and ‘Old Girls’ who were determined to see Toorak College continue after the school plummeted into financial distress in the mid 1920s. Through their generosity, the vision of reinventing the original city school to a boarding school in the countryside was brought to life. Without the support shown by the community at that time, Toorak College as we know it would not exist today. In 2028, we will celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Hamilton Building and all it has given to those who have passed through it over time – a literal home to Boarders for many years, a place of belonging for day students and Collegians and a landmark known for its beauty on the Mornington Peninsula. In the lead up to its 100 year birthday, there are significant restoration works that need to occur under the care of heritage restoration specialists to ensure its structural and historic integrity for a further 100 years.
